Hi!

I have a china made non-brand tablet which is running on Android 2.3.

I wanna block YouTube & some other video streaming sites. I searched for an app in Play, but couldn't find one.

I can't block in router, because I wanna access those sites in my PC & laptop.

Is there any way to do as we do in windows by adding those URLs we wanna block, to hosts file?

Go to Settings - Applications - YouTube and check to see if there is disable option. I of not then you can probably just use an App to lock YouTube and prevent use. A password can be set to re-enable the App if you want to use it.

Lock the browsers too?
Nope. I don't wanna lock the browsers.

I found a solution and I made it mate.

Rooted the device, installed host editor and added youtube.com in the file.
Now no more YouTube in that device. :D

Thank you for your assistance guys!

Have a nice day! :)

I'm new here, and relatively new to android. Could someone explain how to do this? Root my phone, install a host editor, and add the website? Thanks!
