User reviews

I watched the network traffic with this extension active and confirmed that it blocks link auditing/tracking. However, I also found that ublock origin also does this, so if you have that, you don't need this.

Seems to work. Only dedicated app on the chromestore for hyperlink audits. So I'm really hoping it works. lol
