Links Disabler

Links Disabler

A lightweight extension which lets you disable all links on a webpage.

Get the extension

Usage

To toggle between disabling and enabling all links, simply click the extension icon (located in the upper right corner of the browser) or use the keyboard shortcut Alt + Shift + D.

Features

The extension curretly comes with two main features, which can be activated through the extension's options page (see below for more details).

Save toggle status globally and on page reload

If this option is checked, when you hit "disable links" the change will be reflected on all tabs, and links will stay disabled even after page reload.

Only disable links that follow a pattern

If this option is enabled, when you hit "disable links" only links in the disable list will be disabled. All other links will stay enabled.

This option is automatically enabled if the disable list is not empty.

The disable list can be configured with a pattern per line, and accepts wildcards with the * sign.

Example:

*.google.com*
https://www.amazon.com/stores/node/*
http://*

Configuration

Shortcuts

You can configure the shortcut in the Chrome shortcuts page at chrome://extensions/shortcuts

Options

You can configure the extension options through the extension's options page:

links-disabler's Issues

Does not block dynamic links

Works great but does not block dynamic links.
e.g. Go to translate.google.com and type a web address in the left box, google translates that plain text url into a link in the right side box and you can click on it.

Permanently disable links based on a list

I am trying to permanently block one specific link on one specific website. I will enter a book to sell on sellercentral.amazon.com. I arrive at a screen to enter my price; however, Amazon has a link that says "View Listings on Amazon." When you click that link, the link opens to the buyer area of amazon.com for a more sophisticated seller to review the various prices.

The most simple way would be to let the user set a list of "blocked websites" (like some sort of proxy") in the extension settings, described by a whole url or part of it.
An example would be:

  • https://www.google.com (would block only the google homepage)
  • sellercentral.amazon.com/* (would block all websites starting with this url)
  • http://* (would block all non-https websites)

At this point, if any of the websites is linked in the page, they get automatically disabled just like you would do by clicking the extension button.

Make links plaintext instead of disabling them in order to improve text selection

I was looking for an extension that turns all hyperlinks on a webpage into plain text. Google search gave me only this and "Disable links."(https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disable-links/kgghjfabpkpodeancnenkndklnomjpbf).

The problem with this extension is that, it only disables links' click events. That is, they are still links, but when you click them, nothing happens. Since they still links, they cause problems when selecting.

The problem of "Disable links." is that it does seem to turn links into plain texts (albeit their colours are still blue), links become plain texts only while you are holding Ctrl and Alt. Like Cinderella past 12 o'clock, the moment you release Ctrl and Alt, they become links again.

Permanently disable links

Would it be possible to have an option to always disable links or to have
'Disable Links' activated instead of deactivated for every opened website
by default?
I would like to allow elderly people to scroll through certain websites on a tablet
without following any links by mistake.
