Blocker Thing: Protect Yourself from Deceptive Popups and Links

Some websites create deceptive invisible elements on the page so that when a user tries to click an element, they will actually click a link and open a popup. Blocker Thing is a free Chrome add-on that aims to solve this problem. It blocks popups and links that open unwanted tabs, ensuring a safer browsing experience.

Similar to an ad blocker, Blocker Thing works by cleaning up the HTML of the current tab. By doing so, it prevents any sneaky behavior that might redirect users to unwanted websites or open unwanted tabs. With Blocker Thing installed, users can browse websites without worrying about falling victim to dark UX patterns.

Blocker Thing is especially useful for users who frequently visit websites that employ these deceptive tactics. By installing this add-on, users can protect themselves from unexpected popups and links that may lead to potentially harmful websites. With its simple and straightforward functionality, Blocker Thing is a valuable tool for maintaining a secure browsing environment.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
