New-Tab Blocker

Popup Blocker (strict)

It is common for streaming, shopping, and WordPress sites to open unwanted pop-ups or redirect users to ad pages. This free, open-source Chrome extension blocks all types of popups and popunders before they are issued. It pauses window opening requests for user attention. Unlike other popup and ad blocker extensions, this one blocks requests on the original page rather than closing the target pages. You will get badge count and optional page notification when a popup is blocked. A badge counter over the notification increments if more than one identical request is issued. For previously visited sites, the extension automatically allows or denies requests. It identifies the action based on your previous decision. What does happen if I have this extension and a website tries to open a popup? The extension blocks this request and displays a notification on the top right side of the page. Enjoy the browse distraction-free browsing. You can: 1. Deny the request 2. Allow the request 3. Open the request in a background tab 4. Redirect the current page to the requested source Do I still need an AdBlock extension? This extension does not block any network request or ads like adblock extensions. It is a single-purpose extension to protect you against popups and popunders. For a better browsing experience, use this extension along with uBlock Origin. Consider it as a complementary extension to reduce distractions and disturbances. Does this extension support keyword shortcuts? Yes, visit "chrome://extensions/shortcuts" to configure your custom shortcuts for opening the UI or denying the last action. Can I ask the extension not to show page notifications when a popup is blocked? You can open the toolbar interface and mute all notifications or notifications for a single page. Useful Links: 1.

This extension used to be called "Popup Blocker (ultimate)". 2. By placing your mouse over a notification, the counter stops counting so that the user can review the popup request. 3. By placing your mouse over a notification, you can get the full URL in the tooltip (when the full URL is not visible). 4. You can ignore page notifications for a site by adding the hostname to the whitelist (renamed to exception list). 5. This extension does not block overlay pop-ups like cookie messages. 6. It works offline. There are no server-side activities whatsoever

TabBlock

This extension is for anyone, who uses websites with pop-up ads (ads that open in a new tab). Note! Redirections to ads in the same tab still work! You can try to block them by using other extensions or simply return with "back" button. TabBlock does not block any normal ads. Manifest v3 Update: The new approach in Manifest v3 prevents extensions from running in the background all the time, leading to a cold start that can significantly increase the time needed to close a new tab. However, this is purely a cosmetic downgrade - TabBlock now filters out all requests to new tabs instantly, in addition to its ability to close tabs. This means that even if you see a tab open, it won’t begin to load at all.

No New Tabs

This extension does exactly what it says: it stops links from opening in new tabs. Whether it's an old-school link with a target="_blank" attribute or a modern site using JavaScript to spawn tabs, No New Tabs forces the content to open right where you are. THE UNBREAKABLE UPDATE (v3.0.0). Earlier versions only worked by stripping basic HTML attributes like . Version 3.0.0 now handles every technique websites use to open new tabs—it also intercepts JavaScript to keep new pages in the current tab. Temu can't get away with it anymore. Cleans Links: Strips out _blank, _new, and a bunch of non-standard targets. Blocks JS Spawning: New in 3.0.0—prevents scripts from hijacking your browser flow. White/Blacklist: If you actually want Gmail or other specific sites to open new tabs, just add them to the whitelist in the options. Or if you want to ONLY prevent new tabs from certain pages, you can configure a blacklist. AJAX Friendly: Works on sites that load content as you scroll, like Facebook or Twitter. Easily configurable: The extension popup allows you to easily enable/disable the extension, or add the current page to the whitelist. If you find a link or a script that manages to escape, let me know and I'll see if I can hunt it down. Email (available in the options page) is the most reliable way to contact me. I am very responsive Version 3.0.1 (2025/01/11) - Bugfix: Command clicking (or control clicking for you non Mac folk) should open links in a new tab, even with this extension. The previous update broke that, so this one fixes it. Version 3.0.0 (2025/12/24) - The "Unbreakable" Update: Renamed to No New Tabs. - JavaScript Handling: Finally added the ability to prevent scripts from opening new tabs/windows via JS. - Overhauled logic to handle modern web-app navigation better. Version 2.1.2 (2025/11/25) - Performance improvements - You can now use a popup from the extension to easily enable/disable the extension for the current page Version 2.1.1 (2025/9/25) - Small bugfix in fenced frames (really just an annoying log message). - Made config page dynamic, no "Save" required. So fancy. Version 2.1.0 (2025/9/19) - Significant optimizations and performance improvements. - Removed jQuery dependency, other optimizations. - Reduces memory usage and should improve page load performance as well. Version 2.0.4 (2025/9/17) - Version 2.0.3 was a rollback to version 2.0.1. - Fixed a bug in 2.0.2 which reversed the behavior of white and blacklisting, effectively breaking the extension. Sorry! Version 2.0.2 (2025/9/9) - Fixed a bug in rewriting links with rels. - Made the extension overall more robust, fixed some possible race conditions. - Made the options page prettier. Version 2.0 (2024/10/15) - Updates to manifest V3 - Big rewrite under the hood. Settings are not persisted from previous version, sorry. I do this in my spare time and I didn't have the gumption to spend more time on this than it already took to just get the basic functionality working again... Version 1.9 (2020/10/15) - Bugfix: previous version of the script did not work when the "Filter HTML forms" option was deselected. Version 1.8 (2017/12/16) Big change - Should be noticeably faster (only monitors updated/added elements on page, rather than rescanning the whole page on modification). - Added ability to enable/disable by clicking on extension button (also added a toggle in the options page). - Added the __blank (two underscores) target. - Requires fewer permissions, should be fewer corner cases that it misses. Version 1.7 (2015/11/25) - Allows the user to specify what the "_blank" target should be rewritten to (don't do this if you don't know what it means!). Version 1.6 (2015/10/25) - Now disables _blank (etc.) on the tag as well. Version 1.5 (2014/03/07) - Now works on HTML forms as well. Can be disabled in the options menu if you prefer (although please tell me why, if you do!). Version 1.4 (2013/11/6) - Exceptions can now be specified as a blacklist instead of the default whitelist. Version 1.2 (2013/7/7) - Now works with pre-rendered pages (frequently generated from Google searches). As a side-effect, now requires the webNavigation permission to know when new pages are loaded or swapped in. Version 1.0 (2013/3/9): - Now works on dynamically-loaded AJAX content. Useful for sites like Twitter and Facebook. - Added a whitelist option. - Now requires permission to view your tabs, so that I can know which page you're browsing (needed for the whitelist). Version 0.9 (2013/3/3): - Now catch rel=ext and rel=e, which are sometimes used to open new windows in javascript-based techniques. Version 0.8 (2012/7/3): - A change in the previous version meant that my script didn't operate while the page was still loading. Fixed now. Version 0.6 (2011/6/24): - Added the _newtab target Version 0.5 (2011/04/29): - Now works for file:// URLs as well. Version 0.4 (2010/10/28): - No longer needs permission to view your tabs or history (mind you, it wasn't making use of this permission before). It still needs permission to access "Your data on all websites", but there's no getting around that -- it rewrites the links on every page you browse! Version 0.2 (2010/07/21): - Now blocks the _new target as well.
