How to block TikTok on your computer

Blocking TikTok outright works, but it is all or nothing. Algoright gives you three levels: block the feed completely, keep only the accounts you follow, or set a daily time limit. All three work on tiktok.com in your browser and are part of Pro.

Three ways to block TikTok

Block it completely: TikTok is all short-form video, so with Hide short-form videos on, Algoright covers tiktok.com with a "TikTok is blocked" screen until you switch it off.

Keep only who you follow: Following-only mode moves you off For You and Explore and onto your Following feed, so you still see the friends and creators you chose.

Set a limit: the Daily Limit counts your minutes on TikTok. When they run out, a full-screen "time is up" screen stops the feed, unless you choose to add a few extra minutes for the day.

Why not use a site blocker?

A site blocker like LeechBlock NG or Freedom works well if you want TikTok gone entirely, and Freedom can block it on your phone too. Algoright is for when you still want some TikTok, just not the endless For You feed.

Only on a computer

Algoright works on tiktok.com in Chrome, Edge or Firefox. It can't block the TikTok app on your phone.

Questions about blocking TikTok

Can I block TikTok for free?

Not with Algoright: filtering on TikTok is part of Pro. If you only need TikTok blocked outright, a free site blocker such as LeechBlock NG can do that.

Does it block the TikTok app?

No. It works on tiktok.com in a desktop browser only.

Can I still open a TikTok someone sends me?

Not while TikTok is blocked: the block screen covers the whole site. Following-only mode or a Daily Limit are gentler options if you want to keep some access.

How is time counted for the Daily Limit?

Only while a TikTok tab is open and visible. Switching to another tab pauses the count.
