Implement WebSocket blocking #137

Closed tomasko126 closed 7 years ago

tomasko126 commented 7 years ago

WebSockets can be natively blocked by extensions starting in Chrome 58.

How-to test:

  1. Add the following filter: ||pubsub-edge.twitch.tv/v1$websocket
  2. Go to twitch.tv
  3. Open up the console and verify, that WebSocket requests were blocked

@kpeckett In order to test WS blocking, you need to have either Chrome Dev or Canary installed.

itskdog commented 7 years ago

If this only works on the current Dev channel, let's wait the feature until it's in Stable.

@kpeckett Chrome 58 is now stable, I am going to make new changes.

@kpeckett WS blocking has been rolled out to Chrome Stable, feel free to review and/or merge this PR.
