## Description

Stop Mod Reposts is a Chrome extension designed to protect gamers and modding communities from sites that illegally repost game mods. Many popular mods get unlawfully redistributed on third-party websites without the developers' permission, often hosted in regions with lax copyright enforcement. These sites not only infringe on modders' rights but also pose serious malware and virus risks to users.

This extension helps by displaying clear warnings and overlays on known illegal mod sites, alerting visitors about copyright violations and computer security risks. The monitored website list is regularly updated based on a community-maintained repository, helping users avoid harmful downloads and supporting legitimate mod creators. Stop Mod Reposts empowers the modding community to stay informed and safe while promoting respect for creators' work.
