I like the idea. I find blocking websites with my host file being the best tool for protecting myself against distraction.

It would be pretty neat if this was a website that I could point my blocked domains to

The hostfile is great! I use it for more permanent blocks. Reason I use the plugin is to be able to turn blocking on and off quickly if I need to, and as of the next version which will hopefully be available tomorrow, I'll be able to block going to sub-directories.

So, say you have a habit of typing in /r/cars ... I don't know how to block that using a hostfile, but with the plugin this won't be a problem.
