What it is

Browser extension that blocks tracker/ad domains and strips tracking URL parameters, with a per-site report.

The problem

Sites load trackers, open pop-ups and cookie walls, and fingerprint the browser; existing blockers each cover only part of this.

How it works

  1. 1.A Manifest V3 extension for Chrome and Edge
  2. 2.Blocks tracker and ad domains via declarativeNetRequest
  3. 3.Strips tracking URL parameters (utm_*, fbclid, gclid, …)
  4. 4.Optional social-network blocking, off by default
  5. 5.A popup shows blocked counts and a per-site on/off toggle
