Kitten Block Extension

The Daily Mail and Daily Express are popular UK tabloid newspapers:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_Mail
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_Express

When using the internet in the UK it's almost impossible to avoid occasionally accessing the website of one or the other, even if one finds their political and social outlook unpleasant or offensive.

KittenBlock is designed to solve this problem. It performs one simple function: if the browser is directed to either website it will be redirected instead to a selection of photos from http://www.teaandkittens.co.uk.

There is no override option, and there are no options to configure. The extension can be disabled in the usual manner should the user wish.

NEW: Updated v1.1 changes the manifest file format, so this extension works with recent versions of Chrome.

David Selby (ID: 000000f59dbcb77b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/17/2019 One possible problem: it blocks the web site of local newspaper hulldailymail.co.uk, which as far as I know has no relationship with the national Daily Mail.

Paul Oldham (ID: 00000003b00a0ccc) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/26/2016 I've used this for years on, ahem, Firefox so I was pleased to find in here on Chrome too. The only problem is that, unlike the Firefox version, it gives a false positive on the relatively benign http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/
