About Block Fox News

This extension blocks all access to foxnews.com. Additionally, links to foxnews.com on all other sites are disabled and replaced with the text "[Fox News BLOCKED]". The extension works in two ways: 1. When attempting to navigate to foxnews.com, the request is blocked before navigation begins and you will see a "www.foxnews.com is blocked" error message instead. 2. When visiting a website which contains links to foxnews.com, those links are replaced with a dummy link that reads "[Fox News BLOCKED]". Updates: Version 1.0.2: - Badge count fixed to accurately reflect number of links blocked on the current page - Minor bug fixes and optimizations
