Auto Extension Manager

DON'T USE, THIS HAS ISSUES THAT I DON'T HAVE TIME CURRENTLY TO RESOLVE.

A browser extension that allows users to select one or more extensions that should be disabled when the browser opens one of a user selected list of domains.

What It Does Now

• Triggered whenever a tab is updated (e.g. URL is changed)
• Checks a user configured list of domains to see if some extensions should be disabled while tab is on one of those domains
• If tab is on a specified domain, then user selected list of extensions are disabled
• When a tab is no longer on a specified domain, extensions are re-enabled

Future Iteration

• Allow groups of extensions to be created.
• Allow multiple domain lists to be created.
• Allow groups of extensions to be paired with specific domain lists so that not all plugins need be disabled on all sites whenever a block listed site is encountered.
• Consider using Plasmo framework for browser independence.
