Ignore Google Scripts por em_te

What:
Prevents webpages from loading JavaScript from Google's servers. The attempt will be aborted immediately.

The number in the toolbar icon is how many scripts were affected (except for Google Analytics which isn't counted) on the current webpage.

If blocking is turned on and the current webpage has "google." in the domain name then the number in the toolbar icon is "0" as a nudge/reminder that the current webpage may not work properly.

Where:

1. Scripts from these URLs are ignored:
   • apis.google.com/*
   • www.google.com/*
   • adservice.google.com/*
   • translate.google.com/*
   • *.gstatic.com/*
   • *.googlecode.com/*
   • *.googlesyndication.com/*
   • *.google-analytics.com/*
   • and more as they are found.
2. Requests to load content from Google's CDN (ajax.googleapis.com) will be routed to Cloudflare's CDN (cdnjs.cloudflare.com).

When:
Toggle on/off the blocking by clicking on the toolbar icon.

Why:
Because Google can be a spoil sport by getting themselves in murky waters with various authoritarian governments causing a tit-for-tat blockade from both parties.

Many webpages on the web rely on JavaScript hosted on Google's servers to function and when Google is blocked, those webpages will freeze as it attempts to communicate with Google's servers. This freeze will last upwards of 20 seconds per request. Eventually the browser will give up trying to contact Google and continue loading the rest of the webpage.

Rather than living with "request timed out" errors, this one intelligently brings in Cloudflare to eliminate the wait. Popular sites like Stack Overflow can now work again.

Permissions:
This extension needs permission to access all your URLs because this extension needs to filter out which URLs belong to Google. This extension does not read the actual data transmitted, except for the URL itself which is needed to perform the redirection.

This extension needs the storage permission in order to save whether this extension is active or inactive so that when you close and re-open the browser, it will know it's last active state.
