Block auto-opened new tabs per website, with local-only settings and extra hardening when enabled.

Read the publisher’s full description

Tab Silence: Block New Tab gives you control over websites that try to open unwanted new tabs. Blocking is off by default. Turn it on only for the websites where you want protection, and Tab Silence will remember that setting per website on your browser. When enabled for a site, Tab Silence blocks auto-opened new tabs and adds a second layer of protection in case the website keeps trying. It also helps reduce tracking and data leakage from those popup attempts. Features: - Per-website toggle, saved locally in your browser - Detects when a website has tried to auto-open new tabs - Shows clear site status in the popup - Tracks lifetime 2nd-layer blocks per website - Local-only storage with no remote server Tab Silence is built for people who want a quieter, safer browsing experience without breaking every website by default.
