Block Block

Blocks user-hostile CSS properties and user-hostile JS listeners.

Features

This simple browser extension blocks websites from using hostile CSS properties that prevent the user from using a static or dynamic website. This extension specifically targets websites that make the website unusable unless the user clicks on Accept in their Consent banners.

• Blocks contextmenu event blockers
• Blocks wheel / mousewheel event blockers
• Blocks touchmove event blockers
• Blocks overflow: hidden styles
• Blocks filter: <filter> styles
• Blocks backdrop-filter: <filter> styles
• Blocks pointer-events: none styles

Motivation

This extension somewhat enforces compliance with EU GDPR law Article 6(1)(a) and Article 7. A lot of websites violate those on purpose to force users into clicking Consent on their Cookie banners.

Additionally, Recital 32 GDPR states specifically:

Silence, pre-ticked boxes or inactivity should not constitute consent.
