TabBlock Extension

This extension is for anyone, who uses websites with pop-up ads (ads that open in a new tab).

red icon -> TabBlock prevents opening any new tab.
green icon -> TabBlock allows opening new tabs freely.


Note! Redirections to ads in the same tab still work! You can try to block them by using other extensions or simply return with \"back\" button.
TabBlock does not block any normal ads.

Kristen Thorsten (ID: 000000091651206a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/24/2023 It works very well! Very easy to use! Also, if anyone is in the comments trying to figure out how it works, you click the extension and if it is red it means it is enabled, and if it is green it means it is disabled. It is a little confusing that way, but if it works it works.

Paul Breton (ID: 00000058cec08119) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/18/2023 It works too well. I use it to prevent ad-heavy sites from opening spammy links in new tabs, but it prevents you from manually opening them too, and even from switching to a user profile with the extension in use. 5 stars if the dev can find a way to allow opening new tabs when the user initiates it.

Nicholas Jackson (ID: 0000009c35d653d4) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/19/2023 It works, but as another reviewer put it: It works TOO WELL. There should be an option to only turn it on for certain sites, or only turn it off for certain sites, and not destroy tabs when closing Chrome. This even blocks INTENTIONAL new tabs (press ctrl+t, click new tab button, middle-click link to open in a new tab) and having to toggle the block every time I want a new tab is annoying.

Taylor Sims (ID: 000000c6db8f15de) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/16/2023 It didn't work for the website I was using.

fluffy cherry (ID: 0000002c99617b4d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/12/2023 can you please make this stricter? like maybe get a password or something? it's too easy to just toggle it off and go back to normal.
