2024-4-15: Support regular expressions (Regex) 2024-3-25: Can pause blocking for a while 2024-3-08: New UI and more feature, you can block web by domain or the URL address

Block URLs you don't want to open.

For example, you can't stop to open some webs like "facebook.com", "twitter.com" while you are working. You want to concentrate on work, but those webs are really so interesting. "URL Block" is a really good choice for you.

I have the same trouble, so I create this extension. Hope it is good for you too.

Plz let me know if you have some trouble or advice.

New UI is very nice, and is more powerful than others similar extensions. thx

ok, very simple :) But it will kill the page, tab at once :( I want only to stop forwarding to a specific URL with no message. There should be options to specify your addon: - kill tab? - show message page? - do nothing, only alert on icon?
