It's useful for customers of Simple Analytics or non customers who want to block their visits to a specific website where Simple Analytics is installed. This way your stats will not included in the dashboard of that website. We do this via an extension so we don't need to record IP addresses.
This extension basically blocks requests on website where you give permission to. When you click on the icon you as asked to allow the extension to load the data from the current website. This is needed to block the visits. You need to do once this per website.
When a visits is blocked it shows up as a counter on the icon. The counter does reset when you close your tab. For more stats of blocked visits you can go to the permissions page of this extension.
On the options page you will find all websites being blocked and you can change what the extension should block.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
