## Description

Block Yourself from Analytics is a Chrome extension designed specifically for webmasters who want to exclude their own visits from Google Analytics™ data. By blocking the analytics script on your own websites, you maintain accurate traffic statistics without false inflations.

Simply add your websites—using domain names or wildcard formats—to the extension's settings, save your preferences, and the extension will block Google Analytics™ from tracking your visits on those sites. It does not block analytics on all websites, ensuring focused control. Permissions are required to access your sites and monitor browser tabs for effective script blocking.
