Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

This extension is for anyone, who uses websites with pop-up ads (ads that open in a new tab).

red icon -> TabBlock prevents opening any new tab.

green icon -> TabBlock allows opening new tabs freely.

Note! Redirections to ads in the same tab still work! You can try to block them by using other extensions or simply return with "back" button.

TabBlock does not block any normal ads.

Manifest v3 Update: The new approach in Manifest v3 prevents extensions from running in the background all the time, leading to a cold start that can significantly increase the time needed to close a new tab. However, this is purely a cosmetic downgrade - TabBlock now filters out all requests to new tabs instantly, in addition to its ability to close tabs.

Great, but with an irritating flaw... It stops you from opening up tabs manually. When it's switched on it does its job well, stopping all those annoying separate tab pop-ups, but you have to switch it off every time you want to open up a new tab yourself. If you can make it so that you can still open up tabs yourself whilst blocking the pop-up ones, it would be perfect.

It's a great extension, but it prevents me to opening a new tab manually or restoring closed tab with Ctrl+Shift+T, maybe you can make exceptions for this? like opening new tab with "+" button or Ctrl+T, and restoring closed tabs with Ctrl+Shift+T. And manually disable and enable needs extra hand movement, it's either you make exceptions or make a keyboard shortcut to enable/disable the extension functionality. And another thing is there's a critical bug when I closed my browser then opening it again it will closing my blank tab over and over again causing my CPU usage go high. I'll change my review if you fix these problems. Thank you Dev!
