TabBlock - The Ultra-Simple New Tab Control Extension

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.

It's the best product on the market that exactly works.

Не можна налаштувати для окремих сайтів (вайлтіст, блекліст). Або блокує всюди, або не блокує ніде, що не має сенсу. Блокує відкриття користувачем нової вкладки у фоні середньою клавішею миші (колесом).
