AutoBlockout

This chrome plugin iterates through a list of Instagram/TikTok accounts and blocks them, one by one.

However, everyone have different opinion on who to block, so you can easily modify the list in the extension.

If you want to help expand the default list please update blacklist.json and submit a pull request, or submit an issue above.

Credit to FactsFromCat/tiktok_celebrity_blocker and FactsFromCat/instagram_celebrity_blocker for part of the blocking code or as reference.

UPDATE: New FactsFromCat extension has added much more feature. Might be more useful to install them instead.
