Known Limitations

  • From issue #93 it seems that requests made on browser start, before the extension has loaded, are not blockable.
  • From the comments in issue #95, it seems that "webSockets, update-related and web store-related" requests are not blockable.
  • From the comments in #98, behind-the-scenes requests are enabled by default, and disabling them will break important functionality in the browser. B-T-S requests include those used for installing & updating extensions, requests made by extensions, and hyper-link auditing requests.
