Latest reviews

• (2023-05-10) Colby Stearns: This is great! Should be done for every major corporation really but Rupert Murdoch's influence is especially vile.
• (2022-08-31) Marc Raynor: It's important to block Rupert Murdoch and everyone should do it. It's like wearing a mask in the covid ward at the hospital, you don't want to get infected.
• (2021-12-09) Hex: Great little extension, install it on your parents computer so they stop talking gibberish!
• (2021-11-27) Spoony Mac: https://decider.com/ nol blocked. works ok
• (2021-10-30) Nintendo Dringus: Brilliant
• (2021-10-01) Jack McSomeone: It's really good, but I would like to be able to customise what sites are blocked. The only Murdoch owned service I will ever pay for is Kayo Sports, unless the Murdoch monopoly on sports coverage in Australia becomes no more
• (2021-09-23) Tan R: This extension is brilliant. I was clicking on many sites without knowing they were owned by Murdoch. I refuse to give money to a man who has done so much damage to democracy.
• (2021-08-15) Andrew J (rnodern): Thanks! I don't want to support anything owned by that POS. This makes boycotting so much simpler :)
• (2021-07-14) Lee Stevens: Should come as standard on every browser
• (2021-02-25) Kris Anderson: What a brilliant idea and a service you are doing our country.
• (2021-02-01) Awesome job, thanks!
• (2021-01-25) Some Man: giving it 1 star because you guys have broken the back button and if i am web searching, click on a link which is on the blacklist, i can't go back to the searches. do you guys not even use your own extension?
• (2021-01-22) Tarique: This is great! Is there something similar for fairfax?
• (2021-01-19) Luke: Installed for a better Australia, great idea dev.
• (2020-12-11) Alexander Cochrane: Great idea, works well, wish the block looked friendlier or had some humour to it! The block message feels very spammy
• (2020-11-13) Kath Beck: Losing one star because it blocks jobseekers from actually finding work which Seek doesn't have via careerone.com.au which jobactive uses . Need to start a whitelist option even if we don't like him.
• (2020-11-02) Cameron Bonde: Might be cool to highlight Murdoch sites in google searches. I also 2nd the idea of a button to show the archive.org or similar site
• (2020-11-01) PC Sanity Jeff Threlfall: Excellent extension! Works very well. I couldn't believe how many websites Murdoch controls - about 86!
• (2020-10-30) Jørgen Smith: Amazing. The list of sites it has access to checks out.
• (2020-10-28) Dr Frogga: It would be good if this came with Chrome by default :-) To allow one site, you need to manually select all other sites, would be good if the devs could fix that.
• (2020-10-05) Daniel Hanley: Just had a "Stokes" page blocked by this extension. PerthNow. Just lost 4 stars for me. Was 5 before this happened.
• (2020-09-22) Jess Varey: Amazing! Be-gone gutter trash journalism!
• (2020-09-11) Lisa: Love the premise, but just had to remove it because it blocks realestate.com. It's be great if you had a pause feature.
• (2020-07-02) Ahmed E: Thank you!
• (2020-04-14) Nick McKenzie: Awesome idea, great job!
• (2020-04-08) Toby Fothergill: Genius. Rupert is a verucous pustule of vitriol, nothing more.
• (2020-04-01) Mike Medhurst: Good to see. Sharing it.
• (2020-02-25) Philip Cheeseman: Great idea. Can you add the option for similar sites (From a UK point of view Daily mail/Express/Telegraph - They are equally vile and controlling)?
• (2020-02-01) Dan Muir: News.com.au is owned by Murdoch? still coming up in searches. Be great if you could get this working properly.
• (2020-01-22) Luke Mcgibbon: Great idea. Could we get a list of the sites it blocks? I'm not quite sure which media he owns. I just assume it's all the shittiest papers.
• (2020-01-20) Andris Dinsbergs: May this be a popular trend!
• (2020-01-19) Jarrad Thornton: Would be good if it had an option to direct links to archive.org or something that doesn't give them clicks.
• (2020-01-17) Jonathon Straz: Thanks for helping to rid the world of this corrupt scumbag and all he stands for. Let's all do our part to boycott #newscorpse
• (2020-01-16) Daniel Hillier: Stop Spreading Murdoch Lies with this extension!
• (2020-01-15) James Hudson: Fantastic idea. It's even more important with the Murdoch press's ongoing climate change denial in the face of real consequences. BTW, as of version 1.0.3 I checked this extension for any malicious code, but I did not find anything; additionally I think it's a well-programmed and slick Chrome extension.
• (2020-01-14) Kill Banquo: Amazing idea, needs an update for 2020 100%. funny how many people i know who've downloaded this in the passed couple of months even though its 2+ years old
• (2020-01-14) Chris Loch: This has made my life much better. It has reduced the amount of non-science claptrap and ex-furniture sales people's prognostications considerably. I also sleep easier knowing I am not contributing a single cent of revenue to an incredibly corrosive proto-fascist organization. I would have given the app 5 stars but it does not stop Rupert or his minions from continuing to poison the well of public discourse, both in Australia and abroad.
• (2020-01-13) Sam: Works perfectly. Going to spread the word far and wide about this little gem.
• (2020-01-13) Steve Werner: Brilliant - helping increase world intelligence :-)
• (2020-01-13) T Hooks: Absolutely love this and recommend frequently. Would love it to be updated as there's a few sites still not added to the block. Great work xxx
• (2020-01-10) Brint Paris: A stupidity blocker. I love it.
• (2020-01-08) Nathan Budd: Exceptional, useful tool for helping you avoid fake news and reporting rooted heavily in a single bias.
• (2020-01-07) Jordan Durzi: Please update to add all of the new sites too
• (2020-01-07) Emma Grogan: More reason than ever to get Rupert off your computer
• (2020-01-06) Angus Nicholls: A very necessary plugin. Time to block EvilCorps propaganda
• (2020-01-06) NinjaRhys: Share
• (2020-01-06) Corey Hellwege: Awesome! News Corp's vile propaganda should have no place online.
• (2020-01-03) iben Dover: This needs to be more popular
• (2020-01-02) ArcanaTXT: A few years ago I was hit with terminal canccer. Now after installing this extension, I am expected to make a full recovery.
• (2019-04-25) Tony Buttafuoco: I don't normally write reviews for extensions, but this extension is doing the world a great service. A GREAT service.

• (2022-02-28, v:1.0.7) Glen Knowles: carsguide.com.au is not part of news limited
  Love the plugin - however carsguide.com.au was sold by news limited in 2015. They are currently owned Adevinta out of Norway. Can you please remove them from the block list. Thanks in advance Glen
• (2021-10-05, v:1.0.5) Nkl: Allowing access to specific sites
  Hi, I can't figure out how to allow access to certain sites. I need access to realestate.com.au and realcommercial.com.au as I use them daily for work but when I go into settings and select only two of them under "Automatically allow access to the following sites" it still won't let me access them. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you!
• (2021-10-04, v:1.0.5) Nikola: Allowing access to certain sites
  Hi, probably a silly question but I can't figure out how to allow access to certain sites. I need access to realestate.com.au and realcommercial.com.au as I use them daily for work but when I go into settings and select only two of them under "Automatically allow access to the following sites" it still won't let me access them. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you!
• (2021-05-29, v:1.0.5) skooter Martin: Hi Mat,
  I've just found a News Ltd. site that your wonderful plugin has not blocked - is there a whitelist somewhere that I can add new sites to? The site in question is delicious.com.au (https://www.delicious.com.au/recipes/chinese-style-braised-duck-legs-crispy-potatoes/8e369fe3-0ac9-42d8-b29a-89fb3253cd3d) which appears to be a clone of taste.com.au, both owned by NewsLife Ltd.
• (2021-03-15, v:1.0.5) Stephen Rose: Include sky.com
  Include sky.com
• (2021-03-10, v:1.0.5) David Simpson: Binge.com.au not yet blocked
  Binge is wholly owned by foxtel. Check 'em on the naughty list please ;)
• (2021-02-12, v:1.0.5) Warwick Gresty: Australian media code
  In the light of the unauthorised transfer of my data to News Corp mandated under this new media code. Can you tell me if your extension excludes News Corp at the search request or filters the results? If it’s the latter Rupert still gets paid and my data gets transferred see section52 M of the draft media code. Thanks.
• (2021-01-27, v:1.0.5) Felix Rauch Valenti: Blocking Fraser Coast Chronicle
  It seems the Fraser Coast Chronicle is also owned by News Corp, and should thus be blocked: www.frasercoastchronicle.com.au
• (2021-01-17, v:1.0.5) Djoran Keil: The Sun (U.S.)
  https://www.the-sun.com/ is News Corp owned but not blocked.
• (2020-12-14, v:1.0.5) PiHole URL
  This is a great add on. do you have possibly a URL .txt file that i can add to a PiHole Installation for network wide blocking. this would be great. Cheers
• (2020-12-06, v:1.0.5) Felix Rauch Valenti: Adding The Northern Star to blocklist
  Hi Mathew thanks for your helpful extension (I've advertised for it on Twitter quite a bit). It appears that The Northern Star also belongs to News Corp: the bottom of its webpage mentions News Corp: https://www.northernstar.com.au/ Cheers Felix
• (2020-11-13, v:1.0.5) R Bray: Add one more
  Seems to allow news.com.au. Could this be added?
• (2020-10-29, v:1.0.5) Sean Neisler: Could be wrong but I think this is owned or at least partially owned by news corp
  https://inqld.com.au/
• (2020-09-28, v:1.0.5) Nicholas Dewey: How do I add websites to the block list?
  Hi there! Great extension/plugin! I've found a regional Australian paper (The Morning Bulletin - Rockhampton, QLD) that is one of NewsCorp regional mastheads. Is there a way to add sites to block list? Keep up the great work! Kind regards, Nic Dewey
• (2020-08-10, v:1.0.5) Eamon Coulthard: Safari
  Any plans to make an extension for Safari?
• (2020-08-01, v:1.0.5) Matt Clayton: Missing sites
  Just letting you know it looks like you've missed streamotion.com.au and binge.com.au.
• (2020-04-20, v:1.0.5) Rod Gullickson: Sunshine Coast Daily
  I don't see the Sunshine Coast Daily paper in the list, it is a News Corp publication. Can it be added?
• (2020-03-12, v:1.0.5) strictly prickly: I can eliminate satan from my desktop, but not from my android. All & any help greatly appreciated. Do not want this slug or his publications on any of my devices, ever! HELP!

• (2020-02-21, v:1.0.3) Neil Douglas: Bye Rupert App
  Awesome app man, good job. When you visit a site you only say it's a Murdog rag. Do you want to promote some other worthy sites, I think you're missing a chance to promote other news orgs like the guardian, rawstory or the ABC. Again, great app. 3 Thumbs up!!
• (2020-02-16, v:1.0.3) John Wilkie: Blocking Murdoch
  The wireless group in the UK is owned by NewsCorp, thus Murdoch. This means virgin radio,Talksport, TalkRadio and a number of other stations. could these be added?
• (2020-01-17, v:1.0.3) Jonathan Curro: https://www.dailymercury.com.au/ Mackay paper owned by NewsCrap
  Hi Mat, I just wanted to add that https://www.dailymercury.com.au/ is also a NewsCorp owned publication, at least according to the almighty wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_Mercury I think Mackay would be better off with no newspaper than this, but anyway. Also, if you are the same Mathew Carpenter with the blog post about your early 6 figure business venture at the age of 16, that was a really good read. What a story. Thanks for sharing =-) Regards, Jonathan
• (2020-01-07, v:1.0.2) Earanee Niedzwiecki: Not blocking ACTUAL News Corp
  I can access the actual News Corp website, so I'd say that the extension is in desperate need of updating. Please! This is such a wonderful thing!
• (2019-08-18, v:1.0.2) Nigel Cotterill: NAT GEO
  Doesn't seem to be blocking national geographic which he owns?
• (2017-08-20, v:1.0.2) Kelvin Ho: Redirect
  Perhaps a redirect to an archival website such as archive.is so that the articles can be read without giving Newscorp any revenue?
• (2016-04-02, v:1.0.2) Gerr Gerring: Update?
  How about updating the list of sites blocked?
• (2015-09-10, v:1.0.2) National Geo
  Will it start blocking National Geographic?
• (2015-08-20, v:1.0.2) Seth McQuale: Bye, Amazon?
  Just a thought: "Bye, Bezos" extension.

  dear developer. I would like to share the existence of this add on to facebook but don't know how
• (2015-01-10, v:1.0.2) Matt Kirkey: Learning Seat is blocked
  NEWSCORP sold LearningSeat.com in 2012.
