Bye Rupert
- Live on Store
Installing this extension will block all websites that Rupert Murdoch controls.
NEW FIREFOX VERSION: https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/bye-rupert/
Every day hundreds of thousands of Australians read online content that has been designed by News Corp to manipulate their readers views in order to push a political agenda. We've seen it in the past with the 2013 Federal Election, the National Broadband Network, the 2018/2019 Australian bush fires and more. When it comes to politics, Australians deserve an unbiased, fair report of proceedings, NOT low quality "journalism" that aims to make a man who renounced his Australian citizenship more money.
I made "Bye Rupert" in an attempt to stop giving his online businesses pageviews. Less pageviews lowers the amount of inventory the websites can sell which means revenue will drop. It will also allow users to support smaller websites that compete with News Corp who report the real facts without an agenda whilst having respect for their readers - something News Corp has long gone without. Put simply: installing this extension will block all websites that Rupert Murdoch controls.

Oh neat, Google/Chrome blocked this one from working but it's working on Brave. Whelp, Bye Chrome.
The best plugin on the entirity of Chrome. Why is Google removing it, they're telling me I can't even boycott a psychopathic billionaire if I want to? Actual answer: it's the same reason they're suppressing any anti-billionaire/anti-Trump videos on YouTube. Corruption, greed and sociopathy. Hopefully an alternative comes along. I refuse to support Rupert Murdoch. He is a genuine monster.
Fantastic
So sad to see this go :(
I don't normally write reviews for extensions, but this extension is doing the world a great service. A GREAT service. edit, is there going to be an update for this to deal with chrome's "best practices" update?

This is great! Should be done for every major corporation really but Rupert Murdoch's influence is especially vile.

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.

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

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.

Thanks! I don't want to support anything owned by that POS. This makes boycotting so much simpler :)

Awesome job, thanks!
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?

Great idea, works well, wish the block looked friendlier or had some humour to it! The block message feels very spammy

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.

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

Excellent extension! Works very well. I couldn't believe how many websites Murdoch controls - about 86!

Amazing. The list of sites it has access to checks out.

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.

Love the premise, but just had to remove it because it blocks realestate.com. It's be great if you had a pause feature.
