The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.

About URL Block & Redirect

URL Block & Redirect I could not find a simple way to block certain webpages. So i made this extension. Redirect specific URL patterns (e.g., Instagram Reels / YouTube Shorts) to another page. YouTube shorts, Instagram Reels and 9gag are preset to be redirected to google. you can block all shorts by adding https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ but you can not block a specific short https://www.youtube.com/shorts/abcdefgh1234596 **Be aware!** If there are any bugs, i will not be able to help fix them at the moment. This was meant to be a personal tool to help with my productivity, but i was very dissapointed that i could not find a similar chrome extension with out a tone of ads. So i decided to publish it.
