Description

Domain Whitelist is a browser extension that takes a unique approach to content filtering: instead of blocking specific unwanted content, it blocks all network requests by default. Only domains you explicitly add to your whitelist are allowed to load, giving you complete control over what data enters your browser. This reversal of the traditional blocklist model ensures that nothing slips through unless you have personally approved it.

Key Features

  • Ad blocking: By adding known advertisement domains to your blocklist (the inverse of the whitelist), you prevent ad servers from delivering ads to your pages. This eliminates most intrusive advertisements without needing a separate ad blocker.
  • Tracking prevention: Many websites embed tracking scripts from third-party domains. When you block those domains, trackers cannot collect information about your browsing habits, enhancing your privacy.
  • Faster page loads: Every blocked domain means one less network request. By preventing unnecessary resources from loading, pages render more quickly and you save bandwidth, especially on pages with many external embeds.
  • Procrastination control: You can add time-wasting sites like social media platforms to your blocklist. When you try to visit them, the extension blocks all requests, making the site unusable and helping you stay focused.

The extension is completely free and contains no advertisements. It was developed by Peta Sittek and is designed for users who want maximum control over their browsing experience. Unlike typical blockers that maintain large filter lists, Domain Whitelist puts the decision-making power entirely in your hands.
