12well Browser Shield

12&Well Browser Shield blocks access to over 264,000 gambling websites in Chrome — automatically, the moment you install it. No configuration needed. No account required.

Built specifically for people in recovery from gambling addiction, Browser Shield works silently in the background, blocking gambling sites before they even load. When a site is blocked, you see an encouraging page with a daily recovery reading from GA (Gamblers Anonymous) literature instead.

HOW IT WORKS
──────────────────────────

✅ Instant Protection
Install once and you're covered. No setup, no toggling switches.

✅ 264,000+ Domains Blocked
Online casinos, sports betting, poker sites, lottery platforms, and more.

✅ Recovery-Focused Blocked Page
When a gambling site is blocked, you see a calm page with a daily GA reading — not a scary warning.

✅ Transparent Block Counter
The side panel shows how many sites have been blocked.

✅ Pause When Needed
Pause blocking for 30 minutes with type-to-confirm, then it re-enables automatically.

✅ Block Custom Domains
Add your own trigger sites from the side panel.

✅ Connect to the 12&Well App (Optional)
Link with a phone number OTP to sync your block count to your recovery dashboard. Completely optional.
