“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” opens in theaters on Dec. 18. If you’ve been able to make it this far without seeing any spoilers on the minefield that is the Internet, you can get through the next couple of days more easily with the Force Block Chrome extension.
Add the extension to your Google Chrome browser to avoid any potential “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” spoilers. The feature uses smart pattern detection to identify any pages that may ruin the film for you.
A minimum of four unique keywords or phrases must be detected on a page in order to activate the extension. Google also obtained a shortlist sourced from people who have seen early screenings, which includes specific key phrases that have been input by a single engineer who spoiled the movie for himself to save you. If it prevents you from seeing a page that you’re sure contains no spoilers, you can add it to a whitelist.
Some reviewers have criticized the extension for being too sensitive, but considering Walmart and a Chinese “Force Awakens” trailer have already leaked plot details, it’s probably better to be safe than sorry.
