selected websites. Useful for sites you don't want to intercept, or sites that
break under interception.

***

Blocklist lets you disable the Requestly Interceptor extension for specific websites. This keeps certain sites unaffected by Requestly's interception and modifications, which is useful in sensitive or problematic scenarios.

<Warning>
Available on Extension version >=24.7.23 and Desktop app version >=1.8.1

## Why Use Blocklist?

* **Sensitive Information:** If a website contains sensitive data, you may prefer Requestly not to modify it in any way.

* **Compatibility Issues:** In cases where Requestly disrupts the functionality of a website, you can use Blocklist to exclude the website. (If you encounter such issues, please log an issue on <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/requestly/interceptor/issues/new/choose">GitHub</a>, and the team will address it ASAP. 🤝)

## How to Add Sites to Blocklist

Follow these steps to add sites to the Blocklist:

<Steps>
<Step title="Access Settings">
Navigate to the **Settings** section within the Requestly app.

</Step>

<Step title="Navigate to the Global Settings Section">
In the Global Settings menu, locate the **Blocked Sites** section. This is where you manage the websites or domains that you want to block.

</Step>

<Step title="Add Website/Domain">
Input the website or domain you want to block. Adding a domain, such as `example.com`, will automatically block all its subdomains (e.g., `a.example.com`, `b.example.com`, and `c.b.example.com`).

</Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
When a website is added to the Blocklist, the Requestly icon in the browser toolbar changes its appearance to indicate that the extension is disabled for that site.
