Full summary
IMPORTANT: If the extension does not work on a specific site, please post the details in the SUPPORT section, as this will help me fix it. It is pointless to complain that it doesn’t work without posting the details. Thank you. RELEASES Version 1.5 (2016-Mar-06) • Updated script-injection technique so that it works also on pages with strict CSP. Version 1.4 (2016-Mar-05) • Extension was (unnecessarily) trying to patch functions in a cross-origin frame (like Hangouts frame in GMail, Disqus frame in several sites, etc.) from within the outer window. This was breaking the sites’ functionality; now this is avoided. Version 1.3 (2016-Feb-28) • Blocked iframe[@sandbox] canvas reads are now shown properly inside popup • More detailed information per blocking Version 1.2 (2016-Feb-27) See more	Please note: this extension requires Chrome 17 or later. If you are running the default Release build of Chrome, this extension will not successfully install until late January 2012. Do Not Track is a technology and policy proposal that enables users to opt out of tracking by websites they do not visit, including analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. At present few of these third parties offer a reliable tracking opt out, and tools for blocking them are neither user-friendly nor comprehensive. Much like the popular Do Not Call registry, Do Not Track provides users with a single, simple, persistent choice to opt out of third-party web tracking. A list of websites that have committed to honoring Do Not Track is available at http://donottrack.us. The source for this extension is available on GitHub.
