en I don't normally write reviews for extensions, but this extension is doing the world a great service. A GREAT service. edit, is there going to be an update for this to deal with chrome's "best practices" update?

This is great! Should be done for every major corporation really but Rupert Murdoch's influence is especially vile.

It's important to block Rupert Murdoch and everyone should do it. It's like wearing a mask in the covid ward at the hospital, you don't want to get infected.
