Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Domain Blocker is written to be as efficient as possible, in terms of speed (CPU) and memory (RAM).

The main idea is that there's little meaning to use predefined blocklist consisting of tens of thousands rules when you'll ever use only small percentage of it. In Domain Blocker you build the blocklist as you go along.

🚀 Hide ads ⭐️ by blocking advertisement domains you disable the display of some of those pervasive ads

🚀 Avoid tracking ⭐️ by blocking tracking domains you prevent the services to acquire information about your browsing behaviour

🚀 Load pages faster ⭐️ by blocking unnecessary domains (requests) you save traffic and make pages loading faster!

🚀 Fight procrastination ⭐️ just keep facebook.com out of the Whitelist and... do more!

This is one of the best background URL blockers available, and I hope it gets updated to Manifest V3 so that it continues to be available. No other blocker (that I'm aware of) can be refreshed to show what URLs a site is loading in the background, and then let you block them - even using wild-cards. Allows one to clean up a lot of sites unwanted hidden URL loads - and makes things faster.

This extension does work you need to take out the first bit of the link for example www. http:// https:// and then paste the link or select it from the lists on the right. I've been using this extension for ages now and never had a problem its excellent at locking trackers, pop ups and redirects. It's a must have extension.
