Extension summary

Extension is meant for webmasters to block their own visits for their websites thus avoiding false stats. Easy to manage website list accepts domain names with wildcards. It is not meant to block Google Analytics™ script for all websites, I don't support that so please don't ask for this ability.

:: Minimum Requirements Requires at least Chrome v63

:: How to use? Open extension settings, go to websites list and add all your websites to the list. You can use "example.com" or "www.example.com" for exact match OR use wildchar like "*example.com" to match example.com with all it's subdomains. Note that if you put dot between wildchar and domain name you would only match subdomains and not your naked domain name.

Extension is available for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Opera.

Works as intended. Hope it stays as an option on Chrome.

Great extension! I hope Igor can find some free time to update it with the new Chrome requirements. It would be a real shame if such a simple and good extension disappeared from the store.

This extension blocks Google Tag Manager on Chrome. I even hired someone to try to fix my GTM, only to find out after narrowing it down that this extension was the issue. The extension is great when it's actually working, but PLEASE fix this issue so that no one else has to go through it.
