CSS-Block Extension

Almost all websites send nearly useless and often dangerous css-files to their users just to add flashy visual effects to a website. Not only does the CSS-code itself use up bandwidth (700Kb with more than 6000 rules on facebook), but CSS itself can load additional resources, like fonts, images and vector graphics. It can be used to hide and obscure content.

To stop this needless madness, we've created CSS-Block. Just install it and all your worries are gone. No CSS file will ever be able to bug you again.

Marko Djukic (ID: 000000c05f13198e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/19/2021 This app has a stupid description and it is pretty useless. 1. You can turn off CSS in your browser settings, you do not need an extension. 2. To claim CSS "slows down internet" or can carry viruses is either just lying or shows that author doesn't understand how CSS works.

P N (ID: 000000b41c234e44) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/19/2019 This extension is cool to deactivate CSS, for instance, to see the effect of the CSS on a site, or I deactivate CSS to have a printable version of a site. But: No button to switch deactivate/activate CSS, so it makes the extension non useful, and there's malware code in the extension, bringing ad pages, so this extension can't be trusted. CSS viruses are a joke and this extension has a lot of humour, except when it injects ads.
