Consider renaming the project #63

Blockchain already has an established definition as a Merkle tree where each block includes the cryptographic hash of the antecedent, for use as a distributed public ledger, the technology underpinning Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and assorted related technologies.

Yet people have come to use that word to describe the embodied logical procedure this browser extension accomplishes, stemmed purely from it's title.

I believe your project would lose nothing by simply swapping the predicate and the object, resulting in twitter-chain-block, as the derived lexicalization, the portmanteau chainblocking, is apposite and coherent.

This would remove the ambiguity that web search algorithms are incapable of differentiating, as well as appeasing my own persnickety quirk of finding this situation distressing.

You have my gratitude for your time.
