Extension summary

How it's work

The idea is to present the publicly available page for accounts you're blocked from following. By intercepting the request and removing the Cookie from the requestHeaders.

How to use it:

  • Install the plugin.

  • Whenever you visit a blocked page the plugin will reload the page with the publicly available page. (IMPORTANT: At this point you're not logged out!!).

  • A notification will appear to tell you the status of the plugin, also it will give you the option to return to the blocked page.
