## Description

**Net Blocker: Net Guard** is a powerful Chrome extension designed to enhance your online privacy and control by disabling internet access for selected apps. Utilizing a local VPN, it blocks WiFi and mobile data on demand without requiring root access. The extension helps users reduce data usage by preventing apps from downloading background data and provides daily app-specific data consumption statistics.

Beyond internet blocking, Net Blocker features a built-in Caller ID function to identify true callers before answering unknown calls, further improving your security. It maintains privacy by not routing data through remote VPN servers and avoids requesting dangerous permissions such as Location, Contacts, or SMS. This extension is easy to use, boosts efficiency, and ensures your sensitive information stays protected while managing your internet activity effectively.
