Love it! The downside is that sometimes a blocked website DOES load before the "blocked" page comes up. Now I'm not too sure whether I'm actually denying clicks or not.

Works, but for some inexplicable reason it blocks several webcomic sites with no way to change it except to turn the extension off entirely.

I'm ambivalent. I like denying liars their clicks. But I don't want to be blindsided because I couldn't see what they are doing.
