stop certain file extensions from being downloaded.

Post by harryray2 »

Is anybody aware of how to block certain file extensions from being downloaded?.I tried it on ublock but there doesn't appear to ba a way of doing this.

I can block both with my antivirus, but I would also like to block on Tor which bypasses my antivirus (and host file).

Also, is there a way of getting Tor to respect entries in my antivirus and host file?

Thanks.

Example of an extension that should not be downloaded?

Why is your browser downloading something that you've not asked for?

What browser?

Or do you want to block something like .css (which would likely break many sites)?
Maybe an adblocker (uBlock Origin) could help?
