Eyeshade: A Website Blocking Extension for Chrome
Eyeshade is a Chrome extension developed by eyeshade.blocker that allows users to block as many websites as they want. This extension serves as an alternative to the popular BlockSite extension, which now requires a paid subscription to block more than six sites. Eyeshade was created in response to the frustration of having a basic functionality hidden behind a paywall.
With Eyeshade, users can easily create a block list and whitelist, allowing them to control their online browsing experience. Additionally, the extension offers a redirect URL and templates feature, enabling users to be redirected to a specific site or choose from default pages when accessing restricted webpages. The timer feature is also available, allowing users to temporarily block or whitelist sites for a specified period of time.
Eyeshade provides a range of tips, including offensive and encouraging ones, catering to different moods and needs. Future features include the ability to create custom themed tips pages for redirects.
Eyeshade is a free and open-source extension, and the developer welcomes bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback on their GitHub page.
