Extension summary

This extension blocks all access to foxnews.com. Additionally, links to foxnews.com on all other sites are disabled and replaced with the text "[Fox News BLOCKED]".

The extension works in two ways:

  1. When attempting to navigate to foxnews.com, the request is blocked before navigation begins and you will see a "www.foxnews.com is blocked" error message instead.
  2. When visiting a website which contains links to foxnews.com, those links are replaced with a dummy link that reads "[Fox News BLOCKED]".

Updates:

Version 1.0.2:

  • Badge count fixed to accurately reflect number of links blocked on the current page
  • Minor bug fixes and optimizations
