Blocking specific websites on specific devices
I would like to be able to block specific websites and services such as YouTube.com or Netflix.com on specific Family Profiles.

+1 on this. I use a Circle as well on my network, and this is one feature that would be great in the Eero. It would effectively replace the Circle for me.

Creating blacklisted sites by profile is something that many inexpensive routers do. This should be a feature, especially for eero plus subscribers. I also would like to know what sites are visited by my kiddos.

Please it makes no since being an high end router with less features than traditional routers

The sole reason I puchased the EERO device was to enable greater controls for specific profiles (AKA children) to actively turn off specific viewing capabilities for YouTube etc. especially relevant now as kids are schooling from home and as a parent I would like to ensure kids are focused without having to actively watch them 24/7. I thought this would be one of the main capabilities. I could have bought a far less expensive tool to actively block my network.

Additional context on use case:
In Seattle, an no doubt, endless other school districts, children are now on computers endlessly. Simply turning the internet off is no longer sufficient, but blocking individual websites (e.g., youtube), would go a long ways.
-
We also MUST HAVE this ability otherwise remote learning turns more into remote Youtubing. Anyone found an Add-On that works well? I'm looking at Circle.

I have two children who are remote learning now, and both are in their rooms with doors closed (competing band times/tutoring means sound has to be muffled) and I have caught them on youtube or other game site. It would be great to be able to lock those down during school hours with a profile.

FWIW, eero has released a new allow / block feature, but it does NOT meet the minimum viable product requirements for virtual / remote schooling, but it has potential.
Consider during the day, I am looking for. seriously restricted internet (think wildcard *.* for block, and a handful of sites for allowed). In the meantime, I'd settle for blocking just a handful of distractions. But after school, my only option is to delete the sites from the block list. The MVP is an enable / disable toggle for the block list. A feature that requires me to delete the entire setup, and start over the next school day, isn't complete.
The V2 would be scheduling of allow / block.

Any update on this?

What is happening with this capability? Would also be very useful to block a group of sites using wildcard (*), and then only allow access via apps e.g. Spotify. But this doesn't seem possible.
