What is Rickroll Blocker?
Rickroll Blocker is an Edge add-on dedicated to getting rid of rick roll tricks. Often, baiters hide rick roll links, resulting in unexpected distractions. Rickroll Blocker identifies these tricks and saves you from falling victim. Note, this tool currently blocks YouTube rick rolls exclusively but has plans to expand its functionalities.

Add-on summary

Rick rolls are now a thing of the past. Baiters would hide a link to Rick Rolling inside of a benefit. When victims click on a seemingly unrelated link, the site with the music video loads instead of what was expected, and in doing so they are said to have been "Rickrolled". This extension will help your productivity online as it will quite literally block rick roll attempts! This is the ultimate anti rick roll extension. The list is getting expanded overtime.

How it works: Go to a video Never Gonna Give You Up on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ The Rickroll Blocker will detect the URL and navigates away from the URL.

Unfortunately, it doesn't prevent embedded YouTube rickrolls or rickrolls that are not from YouTube. We are working hard to add this feature. This extension is currently work-in-progress
