About LinkBlocker

LinkBlocker: Accidental Click Prevention Tired of accidentally clicking on email addresses (mailto:) or phone numbers (tel:) and having unwanted applications pop up? LinkBlocker is the elegant, lightweight solution you need. LinkBlocker seamlessly protects your browsing experience by intercepting accidental clicks on specific types of links, keeping you in the flow without disruptive interruptions. Key Features: 🛡️ Block Mailto & Tel Links: Instantly prevent email clients (like Outlook or Mail) or phone apps from opening accidentally. 🌐 Custom Domain Blocking: Add specific websites to your blocklist to prevent accidental navigation to them. ⌨️ Modifier Bypass: Need to actually use a blocked link? Simply hold Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) while clicking to bypass the block. 🎨 Elegant Visual Feedback: Blocked links are clearly marked with a subtle dashed underline and a hover effect, so you know exactly what's protected. 🔔 Unobtrusive Toasts: Get a beautiful, non-intrusive notification (toast) on the page whenever a click is prevented, letting you know the extension is working. ⚙️ Fully Customizable: Toggle any feature on or off directly from the sleek popup dashboard. Disable visual effects, notifications, or specific blockers to suit your exact needs. 🔒 Privacy First: LinkBlocker runs entirely locally on your device. It doesn't track your browsing history, send data to any servers, or require unnecessary permissions. Take control of your browsing experience and say goodbye to annoying application popups.
