Extension summary
Purpose: Fight the scourge of fake Twitter follower spam! Partially automates the (currently) painful multiple-click process to block obvious fake accounts following yours by providing a check box interface to select multiple accounts at once.
Usage: Log into your Twitter account, click on your Followers page, and then click on this extension's icon (which should appear in the address bar).
The Twitter Followers page uses an "infinite scroll" technique which loads more accounts to the screen as you scroll downward in your browser. Twitter Follower Blocker will only be able to see the followers currently visible on the page.
About: This extension is open source and released under the GPLv3 license! You can view the source and contribute at https://bitbucket.org/ratfactor/twitterfollowerblocker
This project is by Dave Gauer. Though it is completely free, I am publishing it under the business name, Octal Research, LLC.
