LionBlock

An Adblock for Google Chrome developed as a senior CS capstone project for team AdBuster at Lindenwood University.

Developing LionBlock on Chrome

Clone the repository by running:

git clone https://github.com/FrancescoSTL/LionBlock.git

Download and install Node.js

We use Browserify which allows us to bundle our code and require modules. To bundle LionBlock, run:

npm install
npm run bundle

Go to chrome://extensions/ and enable Developer mode. Then, click on the Load unpacked extension and select the LionBlock folder.

DEVELOPER'S NOTE

If you have been working on the blocker.js, you NEED to run npm run bundle so those changes are effective. Also, if the extension is not working as you would expect -- given that your code is correct -- then remove the extension and add it back again.

Congratulations! Now you have LionBlock in your browser 🎉

Debugging the extension

To open the developer tools for the extension you need to go to chrome://extensions/ and click on Inspected views: background page
