What is TabBlock?

TabBlock is a Chrome extension specifically designed for individuals who frequent sites with pop-up ads. With its easy-to-use feature, the extension aids in controlling the ability to open new tabs. Its red icon signals that it is preventing the opening of new tabs while its green icon signals the free opening of tabs. Please note that TabBlock only targets ads that launch in new tabs and does not block ads appearing in the same tab or ads in general.

This extension is for anyone, who uses websites with pop-up ads (ads that open in a new tab).

red icon -> TabBlock prevents opening any new tab. green icon -> TabBlock allows opening new tabs freely.

its good but remember to turn it off before you close out of your browser, but in case you forget, open task manager then type in chrome and hit end task
