A WebExtension for Firefox and Chrome.
Say "nay!" to URLs in your blacklist. Disable links to matching URLs, and remember why you did so.
Use this as a way to avoid clicking on links to websites you hate because of their use of dark patterns, GDPR pop-ups that are purposefully hard to complete, disregard for user privacy or any other kind of abuse.
The currently implemented functionality is basic:
- Adding a rule and a reason why it's been added.
- Prepending an angry emoji 😤 to the text content of matching links.
- Intercepting clicks on those links with a prompt for confirmation that displays the reason for the blockage.
- Showing how many links have been blocked in a tab.
- Blocking links incrementally if they are added to the DOM after the initial page load.
