GGBlocker: Chrome Extension for Redirecting GamerGate Sites

GGBlocker is an innovative Chrome extension primarily used for redirecting boycotted GamerGate websites to their archived versions on archive.today. This unique function deprives these websites of traffic and ad revenue, benefitting users who support the boycott. Complete with features to add or remove websites from the personal list and dynamically inject 'Add to Archive' buttons on unavailable pages, GGBlocker offers users a significant level of control and customization.

Not working, as of Chrome vÜberEvil (v69).

Completely separate from its original purpose, this is just a good extension that lets me block any site that I don't want to give ad money based on accidental clicks, and it's just a quick way to archive a page if I need it.

Works great, keeps you from accidentally getting routed to unethical sites.
