Anna Paulowna (ID: 000000c00ecb10a8) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/13/2016 Love it! The downside is that sometimes a blocked website DOES load before the "blocked" page comes up. Now I'm not too sure whether I'm actually denying clicks or not.

icon

Sarah Elaine “S.E.” Ramirez (ID: 000000cbe476ffaa) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/17/2015 Works, but for some inexplicable reason it blocks several webcomic sites with no way to change it except to turn the extension off entirely.

Wheel Jerk (ID: 000000d65983a749) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/22/2015 I'm ambivalent. I like denying liars their clicks. But I don't want to be blindsided because I couldn't see what they are doing.

James Risner (ID: 00000049baa8e39a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/11/2014 A good way to block out all of the illogical content on (some) of the internet.

Seth Anderson (ID: 000000d9b09b47d2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/10/2014 It works really well although I wish there was an easy to find option to go to the site anyways or even just pop up a warning saying the site is anti-GG intead of full on blocking it
