| 2024-12-16 |  | | en | It does what it's supposed to as far as blocking but it also does something that I HATE and can't find a way to disable. It suddenly blocks ALL links opening in new tabs, whether they're listed in a a filter or not. I have search results set to open in new background tabs. This now fails and instead this stupid extension opens a dialog to allow or block. THIS SUCKS. It's STUPID and it NEEDS TO GO AWAY. Whoever thought this was a good idea is a flipping MORON. |
| 2024-12-12 |  | | en | Used to work fine in the past, but recently added forced blocking of all links that open a new tab, and I cannot turn it off, it broke so many sites that it is not practical to use this extension anymore. I also found no way to report a bug, so I only can leave negative review. I can consider reinstalling the extension if they remove "popup" blocking or at least make it optional. Currently any link that opens a new tab counted as a "popup", so not just actual popups are blocked, but everything that tries to open a new tab - this makes no sense. I think by default this either should be disabled or only block popups based on blacklist of known bad domains, but not everything. And definitely not forced on me without an option to disable. |

| 2024-12-10 |  | | pl | Po ostatniej aktualizacji wtyczka szrot. Nie można odpalać stron w nowej karcie, bo od razu je blokuje, i daje monit czy zezwolić czy nie. Dopiero po zezwoleniu (dodaniu reguły do wyjątku), można odpalić link w nowej karcie. Na najbliższy czas usuwam ją, bo to bezsens. |
| 2024-12-10 |  | | en | I guess it still works, but now im not able to make new tabs with 3rd mouse click, and i use that all the time so that's very unfortunate. Happened 10. dec. 2024 |
| 2024-11-11 |  | | en | Currently it's alright. Majority of its functions aren't working as MV2 in chrome is deprecated. Hopefully, they figure out MV3 soon. Till then, it's not very efficient in blocking popups. |
