Doesn't ublock origin do the same with the filter list "Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN" enabled?

Brilliant and enlightening little project. Foolish that people take stars away for not fulfilling their specific use cases. Don't ding it, just leave your gripes in the comments. This deserves five stars.

Good Project. Needs persistent settings. Gear Icon not available.

Thank you, ACK-J - this little extension works well. However, I've only rated it 3 stars because sometimes it proves to be a somewhat counter-productive annoyance. This plugin really, really needs a "whitelisting" option. For example, I can't log in and use box(dot)com and a couple of other sites/services that I use to backup my files online, unless I remember to temporarily disable 'Port Authority'. Please add a whitelisting option - that will make it a fully 5 star extension.

Works good! I didn't know so many websites tried to scan my local network O_o

I'm happy with this extension! However, the extension doesn't remember my choice to turn off notifications, so whenever I restart my browser it turns on again by default. Once this gets fixed, I'll give it 5 stars :)

Outdated: Notifications can't be disabled either globally or for individual sites. They re-enable themselves after the browser is restarted.

Works brilliantly! (Almost too well, sometimes; I want to allow my bank to port-scan me and I see from the code that I should be able to whitelist a domain but I don't see how. Better all than none, though.)

[edited to add: just saw the release notes for v1.1.4 regarding temporary reversion. Got it.]

Its great, but it now causes my browser to boot-loop so i must uninstall/disable for now.

I like this extension for browsing the web, but when I launch jupyter notebooks from the terminal, I have to disable this addon so it will redirect to the localhost port properly. It would be nice to have a way to add per-site exceptions, or an exception for localhost in general.

It works as intended! :D

Awesome Job! Legit and Open Source
