finally something that works

Watch My Back, 2024-09-24

A good extention. But it needs to behave like ADBlockers, so I should be able to ignore the entire page whenever I want instead of having to go through the allow and disallow process every time something comes up. If it had been properly and logically implemented, I would have utilised it more frequently. The extension ultimately produced more work than it was worth, so I had to simply turn it off.
