🈲 Chrome URL Blocking Extension
Chrome URL Blocking Extension
This is a custom Google Chrome extension that blocks pre-determined URLs.
$ git clone https://github.com/picatz/cube.git
chrome://extensions
or by clicking on the Chrome menu, hovering over More Tools then selecting Extensions.The chrome browser exposes a webRequest API that enables plugin developers to observe and analyze traffic and to intercept, block, or modify requests in-flight. This makes it almost trivial to develop a URL blocking extension, which is exactly what cube
does.
For example, if we wanted to block requests to microsoft.com
:
chrome.webRequest.onBeforeRequest.addListener(
function(details) { return {cancel: true}; },
{ urls: ["*://*.microsoft.com/*"] },
["blocking"]
);
