How can I block individual websites on Android?

I would like to block individual websites on my Android phone. How can I do it? There is a website that I visit too much. I would like to block it. Is there something similar to a Hosts file like in Windows? Any apps?

There is a hosts file exactly like the one on Windows in /etc/hosts. BUT it is rewritten from the system image at each reboot, so that doesn't really help you unless you put in a ton of effort to change the system image.

If you're rooted, you can install Droidwall (which is essentially a user interface for the standard Linux-type firewall), which has the option for firewall rules, see here:
