Blocker thing Extension

Some websites create deceptive invisible elements on the page so that when a user tries to click an element, they will actually click a link and open a popup. Blocker Thing blocks popups and links that open unwanted tabs. Similar to an ad blocker, the purpose is to clean up the html of the current tab so that when a user clicks on something, nothing sneaky happens and the click does what the user expects it to do. Users should install if they frequent websites that use dark UX patterns to open unwanted tabs.
