WixBlock Extension

Block navigation to websites built with Wix.

Wix is an company that provides Software as a Service to allow users to create their own websites. You may be interested in preventing their websites from receiving your traffic, for various reasons.

== Instructions ==

Pin the extension to the browser
Click the action icon to open the popup
Use the checkbox to enable or disable the WixBlock extension.


== New Feature ==
The extension now counts the number of times a domain has been blocked. We keep track of the number of global blocks and display the count on the block screen.
The extension tracks no data, not IP, not anything.

* This is a beta feature.

== The Future ==

I expect to make more use of the popup and add more features.

The next step will be to publish the count of top blocked sites once the feature is bedded in.

== Suggestions ==

If there is something you'd like to see from the extension, get in touch via email.
