Features & Capabilities

Request Blocker is a powerful Chrome extension that lets users block web requests based on URL match patterns, a built-in WebExtensions format. This tool empowers users to customize their browsing experience by selectively blocking URLs matching specific patterns. It is especially useful for enhancing privacy, blocking unwanted content, and controlling online traffic. For detailed documentation on match patterns, users can visit the official Mozilla Developer Network page.

By leveraging the standard match patterns, Request Blocker integrates smoothly with web environments adhering to WebExtensions APIs. Its simple yet flexible matching capabilities make it ideal for both casual users and developers seeking granular control over network requests.

Is Request Blocker Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Request Blocker requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
