a small window will open and under "show details" you can scan through it to see what it blocks and then cancel the add-on if you want to. I didn't see "The Wall Street Journal" on there. I thought they owned that. I wasn't able to copy and paste the list.

I'm just going to save the link for later. From some of the comments you might be able to unblock some sites?

This is even better than the parental lock.

If it puts a kink in Murdoch's revenue stream, I'm all for it.

that would instantly eliminate Rupert websites with a point and a click. I would travel the country pointing and clicking as I went, a fierce fighter for truth and justice!!
