PopupGuard

Intercepts unwanted popups and redirects from ad scripts. Ask, allow, or block per domain, at DOM and network level.

Take control of your browsing experience. This extension intercepts unwanted popups, forced new tabs, and sneaky redirects, giving you the final say before anything opens. ✨ Core Features Instead of blindly blocking everything and breaking the websites you use, the extension pauses the action and displays a clean, in-page confirmation dialog. You decide what happens next: 🟢 Allow or 🔴 Block (One-time): Approve or deny the popup just for this specific click. 🛡️ Smart Permanent Rules: Check a box before clicking to remember your choice forever. Always Allow/Block: Set permanent popup rules for the website you are currently on. Network-Level Kill Switch: If a site tries to redirect you to a completely different (and often shady) destination, you can choose to block all future network requests (scripts, images, frames) to that destination domain. (Note: Essential trusted domains like Google, Facebook, and major banks are protected via a built-in safe list to ensure your daily browsing never breaks). ⚙️ Simple & Fast Management Click the extension icon in your toolbar to view your dashboard: Live Status Card: Instantly see the rule applied to your active tab and toggle it on the fly. Categorized Tabs: Quickly filter your custom rules by Allowed, Blocked, or Network level. Advanced Manual Input: Add custom rules using exact domains (example.com) or wildcards (*.example.com). Lightning Search: Instantly find and delete any rule if you made a mistake. 💡 The Best Part? Set it and forget it. You rarely need to open the extension dashboard. The on-the-fly dialog handles 99% of the work seamlessly as you browse. Just allow what you need, block what you don't, and let the extension handle the rest.
