Banished

Banished – The Extension Thats great at playing hide and seek with all those sneaky proxy's

Built for school Chromebooks that think they're smarter than the filter. Banished is the extension that catches sneaky proxies, title-spoofing tabs

What It Actually Does (The Useful Stuff)

- Detects and nukes popular proxy toolkits that slip past standard filters (Epoxy SJ mode? Infamous dashboards? Yeah, we see you.)

- Blocks title spoofing & tab cloaking (no more "IXL" tabs on random domains pretending to be educational, also great for blanket blocking all those game websites with 900 domains that all use the same tab title)

- Admin-controlled URL blacklisting & whitelisting via Google Workspace managed storage (.json policy – because who has time for manual lists?)

- Custom "Access Denied" block pages with school-policy reminders (and a scrollable fair-use wall-of-text that takes approximately 47 years to reach the bottom)

- Console hunter for the loud proxy loaders that love to announce themselves

- Clipboard slop & anti-AI copy protection (stops pasting Grok/ChatGPT walls of text on certain sites)

- Configurable true/false flags via admin policy (copy protection? AI block? Console detection? Flip 'em on/off – still testing the full set, so don't blame me if one goes rogue)

Recent Updates (Because We Touch Grass Occasionally)

- Better admin .json syncing for blacklists, whitelists, and spoof titles (finally!)

- Caught up with Epoxy/Infamous sneaky variants
- Fixed a certain bypass with how chrome handles certain caching of pages

- Fixed a million tiny console screams and added caching so it doesn't lag your ancient fleet of Chromebooks

Disclaimer included for the lawyers:
"Continuing to view or interact with this blocked page is entirely voluntary and at your own discretion. This is a standard school restriction. The colors, text, and formatting are just vibes. The school, IT staff, and the tired developer assume no liability for emotional damage, existential crises, or the sudden urge to touch grass that may result from staring at this page."

Why Admins Love It

- Catches stuff that makes GoGuardian/Lightspeed sigh and say "not again"

- Lets you whitelist legit sites with simple wildcards ex:[ *.example.com/*, *example*, *://*.example* etc]
Also runs the exempt functions before others with a return flag added if matched (no blocking Google Classroom... unless you really hate math)

- Block pages are cozy but firm (no complaining about the font colors to the principals because your fav website got blocked) — students get the message without feeling personally attacked (mostly)

Pro Tip:
Definitely don't type 67 on the block page.
(But if you do... enjoy your Google search for "67 ways to touch grass". You're welcome.)
Perfect for school IT folks who are tired of proxy whack-a-mole every Monday.
Install it, set your .json, and go back to drinking coffee instead of chasing proxies.
(Yes, the true/false flags are in there — still testing the full suite. If something flips the wrong way, blame the hamsters running the policy sync.)

-Updated payload in background and content to actually send the title spoof and anti ai policy to main
-Added some features to catch html copy pasta from rendering about tabs
Hopefully this title spoof from the admin .json works again
