Rated 5 out of 5
by Shoshanna, a year agoIts very good!
I read somewhere that it does the same as ublock origin when it has the block outside intrusion to lan. But i think this extension does so much more than that now when its been updated?

posted a year agouBlock origin is a great extension that I personally use. It accomplishes the same goal when configured with the "block outside intrusions to lan" list, but that wasn't always the case. Back when I first created port authority in March 2021 uBlock didn't have a LAN list.
This extension spurred conversation within the community which eventually led to them adding it in November 2021, which I think is pretty cool!

The benefit of port authority is the notifications and UI surrounding which portscanning and lexisnexis requests were blocked.
