How to block Tumblr
on Chrome.

The dashboard is infinite by design. You don't need to swear off Tumblr entirely — you need to kill the part that eats your time. Refocus blocks Tumblr (or just its feed) and keep the blogs you follow directly.

⏱ Block Tumblr — free

Step by step

  1. Add Refocus to Chrome (free, no account).
  2. Add tumblr.com/dashboard to your blocklist — or the whole domain tumblr.com for a hard stop.
  3. Optionally set a night schedule or a daily limit so Tumblr can't creep back.

Block the feed, not the whole site

Every other blocker is all-or-nothing. Refocus does path-level blocking, so keep the blogs you follow directly. It's 100% local — no account, nothing leaves your browser — and free forever.
