Sometimes you don't want private browsing, you just want to hit pause. Blindspot lets you temporarily stop recording history with a single click on the toolbar icon. You can also add specific domains that should never appear in your history.

Features & Capabilities

Blindspot gives you a simple pause button for your browsing history — no need to open a private window.

Features

One-click pause: Click the toolbar icon to stop recording history. Click again to resume. The icon turns red so you always know when you're in a blindspot.
Block specific sites: Add domains that should never appear in your history, even when Blindspot isn't paused.

Manage your list in Settings

Right-click to block: Right-click any page to instantly block or unblock that site.
Cleans up closed tabs: Blocked sites are also removed from your "Recently Closed Tabs" list.
Fully local: No data is collected or sent anywhere. Your blocked list is stored locally in your browser.

How is this different from private browsing? Private browsing is all-or-nothing and opens a separate window. Blindspot lets you stay in your normal browser session and just pause history for a few minutes, or permanently hide specific sites.

Is blindspot-privacy Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

blindspot-privacy requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
