This was mostly made for my own use as I couldn't find an add-on that met my needs. ie.) I want to visit reddit.com/r/cooking to look for recipes but I don't want to be distracted by reddit.com/r/all.

Blacklist : .reddit.com/r/. Whitelist: .reddit.com/r/cooking.

( ".*" is the wild card of any length and is a good catch all to wrap around your entries)

Updates to the whitelist and blacklist are done via the toolbar-icon. New entries are separated by a new line.

I'm open to suggestions and improvements if anyone else finds this tool useful.

TODO:

Improve user experience and whitelist / blacklist editing experience.
Fix a known issue where rendering is sometimes delayed and interaction with the popup is necessary for the editor to load.

Very minimalist and precise. Suggestion: I could give you a prompt to tell that the tab is being closed by the add on, just to make sure that is not a bug on my browser.

Extension safety

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.

Whitelist-Blacklist-Blocker requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
