Apiruk Laungla 2025-06-22: There should be a block option in the right-click menu Either on the web page or in Devtool → Network Or similar to network requests blocking
Poor NewB 2025-03-02: This extension does exactly what it says and works perfectly for my use cases. The source code is minimalist and easy to review, good job! It relies on dynamic rules from the declarativeNetRequest API, so it is compatible with Manifest v3. I needed a way to block custom URLs since I switched from uBlock Origin to uBlock Origin Lite (whose filters are not updated frequently enough). The HTTP Request Blocker extension does the trick.

Fabrice 2017-09-15: Unfortunately it doesn't match when using the "omnibar" autocomplete, (ie. type a few letters in address abr and then enter to pick a site you've visited before). For example if I block reddit.com/r/videos I start typing in address bar "reddit" and the videos sub will appear as a suggestion from history. Then I press enter and it isn't blocked, because the pattern matching seems to take place before the "omnibar" search is replaced with the complete url appearing in the dropdown.

G L 2017-06-28: Hello, thanks for your work but this extension does not block ALL http/https requests according to the users' correct expression given/saved. It only blocks requests from the addr bar/field. If a page is making http requests for example to display an image, those requests are NOT blocked. Example: I tried to block the youtube logo, it gets blocked if I enter the logo's full url in the addr bar, but the logo shows up on the youtube home page (after doing everything CORRECTLY, i.e. clearing the browser cache, restarting, etc.)

gal773 2016-09-01: It works but you need to be very careful with what you enter. The program does not have any feedback on what you enter. If your URL expression is not correct it just stops blocking all URLs. When it works - it works!

Carlos Sanchez 2015-07-28: It blocks page requests and doesn't have an intrusive interface. Make sure you read the example page linked in the description.
