Great Barrier

Have you ever followed a link from an email without thinking about it, only to be brought to a site full of ads and other nonsense which you would rather not have anywhere near your trusted sites? If this sounds like something that bothers you, then this extension is what you've been looking for.

Great Barrier lets you maintain a whitelist of sites which you trust and/or use on a regular basis. If you follow a link to a non-whitelisted site, Great Barrier will redirect it to an Incognito window instead, isolating it from any sensitive sessions you may have open.

What's new:

0.94

• Added ability to save redirected links to browser history (disabled by default). If you like to use history auto-complete while browsing, you can enable this feature to have the extension save URLs to your browser's history just before redirecting them to Incognito windows. Of course, once you are Incognito, Chrome will discard all further navigation you may undertake. Adding this feature required the addition of the History permission to the extension.

This extension is open-source and is freely available by following the Website Link from the Chrome Web Store. This extension does not record, store or transmit any personal information or browsing history information. Your settings may be synchronized with Google's servers but are not accessible to the authors of this extension.
