- Does something simple and essential that almost every other web blockers fail to do for some reason: Close tabs not just by URL text, but also by page title text, and even either or. It also has regex if you're a more advanced user. Those other web blockers will fail on sites whose URLs are just random text, like YouTube. If you're dealing with such sites, this extension has you covered. For the particular keyword you want to block, you could select the "match by URL or page title" option so that if either of them contains the keyword, the site will close automatically. It works well on YouTube because the page title happens to include the title (of the video) which may contain the keyword. Before you judge this extension for having very few reviews, I want to confirm that it is the real deal and the one you've probably been looking for. Its very great if you like a minimal and simple app. But I would have given this extension full 5/5 if it have certain features that I think are essential to a web blocker: 1. the ability to switch the extension on and off. 2. the ability to group keywords/search patterns and switch these groups on and off (like for work sessions. And yes, I want a switch for every group created). This would be much faster than turning individual search patterns on and off, one by one. 3. the ability the schedule search patterns or groups of them to turn on and off at certain times. 4. the ability to turn on and off dark mode for the extension page, using a switch or system settings.

- Really good at functionality. That is what I want.

- Generally good, but sometimes, I add a site and it just ignores it, so it still pops up. Also. I add it manually, and it just disappears from the list.

- Good extension but can you add option to select : close tab match black list(already have) or close tab when match black list and tab have no back url(tab opened in new tab, almost ads do this). Thank very much.

- For what I needed this is perfect. I have a free app that always opens a new tab and nags me to upgrade. I blocked it with hosts file for awhile but even that stopped working. Now when it opens I just see a quick blip on the screen and it's gone. This extension is easy to use; just add a URL and check the box, done. Thank you.

- I love this extension, but recently I'm not able to update the configuration list; I can't add items nor delete existing items. After editing the list and reloading or reopening the configuration, the changes are not saved.

- Only blocks a website 3 times, then you have to reset stats for it to start blocking the site again. Very annoying "feature". Would be a 5 star app if it blocked a site every time, once you have asked it to block that site. Baffled why I have to keep resetting the stats every 3 times the pop up loads.

- Exactly what I was looking for. One request: Can we allow delay to be like ~24 hours ish. I don't want a tab to close instantly or when I am working. But I surely don't need it next day or even 5 hours later

- This is what i really want! an extension that blocks custom websites! i have tried other extension but no feature like this. I hope dev to add the no new tabs feature, so if a blocked site is opened in a new tab, the user won't be disturbed if a new tab appears before the tab automatically closes. thx you!

- Add feature to change the default delay from 1000 ms to 1500 ms for example. please. some sites think I use adblocker if I closed the pop-ups in less 1 second.

- So choice, and especially helpful with applications that require browser authentication (like Snowflake). It would be a nice if we could specify a delay (say, in seconds) to allow the tab to launch an application before being closed. Thinking here of Zoom, RingCentral, etc.

- The one and only extension that really does the job. Amazing. Only thing I regret : there's no Firefox version. That'd be great ! Thanks for sharing with us that great piece of coding.

- Works like a charm. Does exactly how it is supposed to. After manually adding those few nasty pop-ups that always appear to bypass my ad blocker (or for sites which won't work with enabled ad blockers), they are auto-closed near immediately and you are back at your origin tab. Bonus points for U Block Origin. It can close the annoying document blocked page of U B O, which otherwise is a fantastic Ad Blocker. So 5 stars for this one, great work!

- came here to tell you: do not let the only tab be a site blocked by this site. If you turn on the browser it'll instantly close it before you get the chance to pick another site and naturally before you can unblock it either or disable the extension my solution is: right click the browser and you'll see your often-used sites. Pick the one that isn't blocked and open the browser with that site in it
