In version 5, it’s only in paid products. But it will be free in version 6, which is already in beta. You can give it a try, but make sure you use it on a test machine and not a work machine.

You should be able to do that in any competent firewall or in the HOSTS file or by using a HOSTS file manager. Or many browsers also have blocking tools.
