DM Redirect

Blocks selected sites by redirecting to another site of your choice.

What is DM Redirect?
DM Redirect is a Chrome extension that blocks selected sites, such as The Daily Mail, by redirecting you to another site of your choice. It was originally designed to redirect to The Guardian, but now it can block and redirect any sites you like. It tracks nothing except when you type the name of a blocked site in your URL bar.

Summary

Controversial confession: I spend a lot of time on The Daily Mail website. I've tried to stop, but I'm pretty sure my fingers have it on autopilot. This extension was originally designed to redirect to The Guardian every time I tried to visit The Daily Mail website.

To celebrate many months of being Daily Mail free, I've now extended DM Redirect so it can block and redirect to any sites you like. To change settings, just click the extension icon.

It still tracks absolutely nothing except to identify when you type the name of a blocked site in your url bar.
