Extension Metadata

About this extension
News sites like The New York Times, LATimes, New Statesman, etc. try to detect private browsing mode via the presence of the IndexedDB API and block access to the site. This extension provides a fake implementation to bypass these blocks.

Important: Remember to allow the extension to run in private windows or it will do nothing.
