Block Yourself from Analytics Extension

Extension is meant for webmasters to block their own visits for their websites thus avoiding false stats.
Easy to manage website list accepts domain names with wildcards. It is not meant to block Google Analytics™ script for all websites, I don't support that so please don't ask for this ability.

:: Minimum Requirements
Requires at least Chrome v63


:: How to use?
Open extension settings, go to websites list and add all your websites to the list. You can use \"example.com\" or \"www.example.com\" for exact match OR use wildchar like \"*example.com\" to match example.com with all it's subdomains. Note that if you put dot between wildchar and domain name you would only match subdomains and not your naked domain name.

Extension is available for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Opera.
