Search the store for "blocksi"
Select the choice named: "Blocksi - Web filtering and parental control"
Install the extension (you will need a Google account for this). A new tab will open with the settings page.
Select the "URL Filter" tab.
Enter the domain of "https://www.yahoo.com" in the text field. Select "block" from the drop-down. Then click "Add".
Save your settings and close out of the tab. You have successfully blocked "yahoo.com" from Google Chrome

Blocking for the Entire System (Windows 7/8/8.1)

Your system account must have administrator's privileges.

Search your PC for %systemdrive%/windows/system32/drivers/etc
Right-click on hosts and select "Open-with", then choose "Notepad"
After the last line in the document, enter 127.0.0.1, followed by the website that you want to block. For example, a blocking of Yahoo would equal: 127.0.0.1 yahoo.com
Save the file. You have successfully blocked Yahoo.com
