Avoid Star Wars spoilers with this nifty Chrome extension
Do the words "spoiler alert" make you scream and turn away? Does the mere mention of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo make you cover your eyes and ears? For those hoping for a pristine, spoiler-free Star Wars: The Force Awakens experience, the internet has become something of a minefield — especially now that tons of people have seen the movie and are actively talking about it.
Thankfully, some fellow nerds on the internet have got your back. Force Block is a Chrome extension that blocks "pages containing spoilers from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, with smart pattern detection and a whitelist for false alarms."
According to a review of the extension in The Verge, Force Block is "a blunt tool, better at blocking any site that mentions the words "Star Wars" than preventing specific spoilers from reaching your untainted eyeballs."
