I am sick of it, even though I don't use tiktok its everywhere, is there a way to completly block all tiktok videos? I tried to search for firefox extensions but no luck.

If you're on windows.
Delete browser cache.
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc

Open hosts file in notepad and add

127.0.0.1 www.tiktok.com
127.0.0.1 tiktok.com

save, reboot.

Open Terminal and enter the following command. You will be prompted to enter the admin user’s password.

sudo nano /etc/hosts

Use the arrow keys and move to the next empty line. You’re going to enter the following here;

127.0.0.1 www.tiktok.com
127.0.0.1 tiktok.com

tap the Control+O keyboard shortcut to save the changes. Tap Enter. Control+X to exit it.

Open terminal again and type
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache

If you want to remove and access tiktok again, just edit the file again and remove the lines.

also if for some reason it still keeps popping up, the only thing to do is to add the complete domain list:

127.0.0.1 v16a.tiktokcdn.com
127.0.0.1 p16-tiktokcdn-com.akamaized.net
127.0.0.1 log.tiktokv.com
127.0.0.1 ib.tiktokv.com
127.0.0.1 api-h2.tiktokv.com
127.0.0.1 v16m.tiktokcdn.com
127.0.0.1 api.tiktokv.com
127.0.0.1 v19.tiktokcdn.com
127.0.0.1 mon.musical.ly
127.0.0.1 api2-16-h2.musical.ly
127.0.0.1 api2.musical.ly
127.0.0.1 log2.musical.ly
127.0.0.1 api2-21-h2.musical.ly


Creating an OpenDNS account and setting your router to their DNS IPs will block tiktok on the network and all devices that are on it. That is also a possibility.

Is Youtube also showing tiktok videos lately? Because i clicked on a Youtube video, in the Youtube channel and i got redirected to tiktok.

This hsppened twice even, while using the adblocker browser on Android.

If you use the Privacy Badger browser extension (Firefox, maybe also others) it will block TikTok embeds for you.. You can also set up custom rules on other content blockers to block their domains.

I don’t think I’ve ever watched a TikTok video
