Govind Rai (ID: 0000001ccc44b5dc) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/10/2023 This does indeed block, but not on the first load, which is what I want (it blocks network requests in the background) and should be explicitly noted in the extension's description. Also the UI is pretty unintuitive. Kudos to the dev who made this. I'm sure once you figure out the UI and regex testing, and if you need to block background requests, this definitely does the job.

Alex Guo (ID: 000000a3a324f44a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/27/2023 lol. Doesn't work for subdomains. Weird URL I'm blocking is: https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/
