[Unreleased]

​

[0.1.9] — Current Release

​

Rule Management

• Block URLs via wildcard patterns — Rules accept standard match patterns such as *://*.example.com/*, mapping directly to the declarativeNetRequest URL filter format.
• Optional initiator domain filtering — Each rule can optionally restrict matching to requests initiated from a specific domain, avoiding over-blocking on shared CDN hostnames.
• Toggle blocking on/off — A global enable/disable switch suspends all active rules without deleting them, making it easy to temporarily allow all traffic.
• Preview and edit rules in a modal window — The rule editor opens a full-screen modal with a JSON editor for inspecting and modifying rule definitions in place.
• Search and filter rules — A live search field filters the rules list by URL pattern or initiator domain as you type.
• Move rules up/down for priority ordering — Rules are evaluated in list order; drag handles and up/down controls let you adjust priority without re-entering rules.
• Duplicate detection — The extension warns when a newly added rule is identical to an existing one, preventing redundant entries.
• Undo deleted rules (5-second window) — Deleting a rule shows a temporary undo toast, giving you five seconds to recover an accidentally removed rule before it is permanently discarded.
• Clear all rules — A single action removes all rules after confirmation, resetting the extension to a clean state.

​

Import and Export

• Export rules to JSON — The full rule set can be exported as a .json file for backup or sharing between browsers and machines.
• Import rules from a JSON file — Import rules from a local file with a choice of merge (add to existing rules) or replace (overwrite all existing rules) modes.
• Import rules from a URL — Fetch a remote JSON ruleset directly by entering a URL, enabling subscription-style blocklists hosted anywhere.

​

Preset Blocklists

• Advertising — Blocks requests to known advertising networks and ad-serving domains.
• Trackers — Blocks analytics and behavioural tracking endpoints.
• Social Media — Blocks social media widgets, share buttons, and embeds from loading on third-party sites.
• Malware — Blocks requests to domains associated with malware distribution and phishing.

​

UI and Metrics

• Dark mode — The popup UI respects the user’s system colour scheme preference and can also be toggled manually.
• Blocked traffic counter with reset — A running count of requests blocked since the last reset is displayed in the popup header. The counter can be reset to zero at any time.
