Summary

Blocks URLs based on simple blacklist and whitelist.

The primary intent of this extension is to keep kids from browsing YouTube during the day except for whitelisted school videos, but many other uses are possible. Any domain or class of URLs can be blocked with simple patterns.

URLs are blocked if any entry in the blacklist is a substring of the URL, and there is no matching substring in the whitelist. This allows you to block entire domains but grant permission to specific URLs.

For example:

Blacklist: youtube.com

Whitelist: v=WTsy5hEqCsg

All of YouTube will be blocked, but this specific video is allowed:
