Help Is it possible to block specific links/URLs?

[sparkhee93]

My situation calls for blocking specific links/URLs or even ones that contain that specific URLs but not necessarily the site's domain itself. For example, let's say I have an extreme phobia of ducks but my friends want to pull a prank on me and pull up a image search for ducks from Google on my phone.

But because I don't want to have to see any pictures or even searches of ducks, I want to restrict it.

I already know that changing the hosts file to redirect a specific website's domain back to 127.0.0.1 will cause the website to refuse the connection. But I still want to be able to use Google as my search engine so the rewriting hosts file is out of the option.

For example, when I search "ducks" on Google, I get these URLs:

• (Searched with address bar)
  https://www.google.com/search?q=duc...57.1047j0j1&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8
  
• (Searched through going to www.google.com)
  https://www.google.com/#q=ducks

Going from that, I want to restrict any URLs that contain either "https://www.google.com/search?q=ducks" and "https://www.google.com/#q=ducks".

Is this possible?

I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with CMRemix v7.2 if that information is going to make any difference.

I'm guessing you might be looking for something like Net Nanny? (Play Store link) or another similar app...

Is there anyway I can do this without having to download the mentioned app? I'm not really looking into filtering for inappropriate stuff. I was hoping there would be a way through altering some files, similar to changing hosts.

I tried editing the hosts file. It works with the general domain ("www.google.com") but once you get specific with the URL, it doesn't work.
