Kitten Block

Redirects the Daily Mail and Daily Express websites to Tea and Kittens.

Kitten Block Chrome Extension - Redirect Daily Mail & Express

KittenBlock is a unique extension for Chrome users. When browsing the web in the UK, it's challenging to avoid occasional visits to popular yet controversial tabloid sites; particularly the Daily Mail and Daily Express. Kitten Block solves this by redirecting any traffic to these sites towards a collection of charming kitten photos on www.teaandkittens.co.uk. This extension has no override option and requires no configurations, but can be disabled at will. With its recent v1.1 update, it's now compatible with the latest versions of Chrome.

Thank you, not all heroes wear capes

One possible problem: it blocks the web site of local newspaper hulldailymail.co.uk, which as far as I know has no relationship with the national Daily Mail.
