Blocking a website on mobile

Bit of a long shot but does anyone know how to block ONE website only on my mobile. I have a Samsung galaxy s3 mini. Samsung say it can't be done and my service provider wasnt sure.

Ive down loaded an app (safe browser cloud) but it doesn't appear to be working properly.

Help please!!!

Thanks

Hiya. Im with orange also. Spoke to them and they said the only thing they could do was block the WHOLE internet on phone which is obviously no good.

The website I want to block is another swinging site.

Why block it? I'm confused as surely you can just not browse it.

If you do actually want to block just a single site then toy will either need an app installed on the phone, or something to block it between you and the Internet (is really and their firewall). It's completely possible, but very impractical to do on a per customer basis. They tend to have two settings, unfiltered and filtered. The Portlemouth with the filtered setting is that most people don't agree wtb the entire list of sites blocked.

One way you *may* be able to achieve this with a bit of fiddling around (which may include rooting your phone to get access to the sytem files) id to research the equivalent of the old Windows trick of adding an entry for the website in question to the hosts file with the IP address of a "safe" website so that if you try browsing to it you end up at say Google.

Ok I think I understand. Do you know of any app that will do the job?

most of the apps found by googling for "android app for editing hosts file" require the phone to be rooted

There is one link that gives instructions for doing it from a DOS prompt and the Android Developer SDK from a PC but , and no offence here, as a self confessed technophobe I wouldn't touch with a bargepole.
