Anti-Grabify
Blocks IP grabber links from Grabify and similar services to protect your IP address.
Description
Anti-Grabify is a browser extension designed to protect your privacy by blocking websites used for IP grabbing, such as Grabify and similar services. These services create tracking links that, when clicked, log your IP address and report it to the link creator. This extension automatically blocks over 50 known URLs associated with IP grabbing, preventing the pages from loading and stopping your IP from being captured.
Key Features
- Blocks Grabify and Similar Services: The extension maintains a list of nearly 50 URLs from Grabify and other IP grabbing platforms. When you attempt to visit one of these URLs, the extension intercepts the request and prevents the page from loading, effectively stopping the IP logging process.
- Automatic Protection: There is no need to manually configure or activate the extension; it works silently in the background. Whenever you click on a link that leads to a known IP grabber, the extension blocks it instantly.
- No Data Collection: The extension does not collect any of your personal data or browsing history. It only checks URLs against its blocklist and does not transmit any information externally.
- Open Source: The source code is available on GitHub, allowing anyone to review, contribute, or verify the extension's behavior. This transparency ensures that the blocklist is maintained and updated by the community.
This extension is useful for anyone who wants to avoid being tracked via IP grabbing links, especially in online communities where malicious users may share deceptive links. By blocking these services, Anti-Grabify helps maintain your anonymity and prevents your IP address from being exposed to potential attackers.
