Usage

The popup is designed for quick, lightweight decisions while browsing. The dashboard is for deeper history, settings, diagnostics, and reset/export controls.

Popup

Use the popup to:

• Toggle global protection, or pause it for 15, 30, or 60 minutes (it resumes automatically, with a live countdown).
• Allow or protect the current site.
• See how many items were blocked on the current page visit (network requests plus hidden placements), updating live while the popup is open.
• View lifetime blocked count and estimated data and video time saved.
• Scan the last 24 hours and top blocked categories.
• Report an ad that slipped through in one click. "Saw an ad slip through?" opens a fully pre-filled GitHub issue (extension version, browser, page, and block counts auto-attached, with no browsing history) and copies a screenshot of the page to your clipboard to paste in.

Dashboard

Use the options dashboard to:

• Review lifetime stats and 60-day history.
• Manage allowed and blocked sites, and import/export the allowlist as JSON.
• Toggle YouTube skip assist, Twitch video detection, cookie-banner hiding, pop-up/pop-under blocking, and badge counts.
• Update the network filter list on demand ("Update filters").
• Export or reset local stats.
• Inspect filter and cloud-sync diagnostics.
• Report an ad that slipped through ("Report an ad") — same pre-filled GitHub issue as the popup.

Stats

Exact network byte savings are not exposed by Chrome MV3 for every blocked item, so data saved and video minutes saved are clearly treated as estimates. Counts and local events are stored locally first, then compact lifetime and daily history are synced through Chrome.
