About Mistake Blocker
Mistake Blocker helps you avoid those small but frustrating browser mistakes — like accidentally swiping back, going forward, or closing an important tab.
If you use a Magic Mouse or trackpad, you may have experienced this before: while editing text, using a dashboard, or working in a web app, a small unintended swipe can suddenly take you away from the page. This extension was created to reduce those interruptions.
You can enable protection only on the websites you choose, and decide which actions to block for each site. For example, you can block swipe back/forward navigation, show a confirmation dialog before closing or leaving a protected tab, or use both together.
Features:
• Protect selected websites only
• Block accidental swipe back/forward navigation
• Warn before closing or leaving protected tabs
• Choose protection options per website
• Simple one-click enable/disable
• Manage multiple protected sites
• Clean dark-mode popup UI
• No tracking, no ads
Mistake Blocker is useful for web editors, web apps, dashboards, admin panels, writing tools, and any page where an accidental swipe or tab close can interrupt your
