NEW FIREFOX VERSION: https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/bye-rupert/

Every day hundreds of thousands of Australians read online content that has been designed by News Corp to manipulate their readers views in order to push a political agenda. We've seen it in the past with the 2013 Federal Election, the National Broadband Network, the 2018/2019 Australian bush fires and more. When it comes to politics, Australians deserve an unbiased, fair report of proceedings, NOT low quality "journalism" that aims to make a man who renounced his Australian citizenship more money.

I made "Bye Rupert" in an attempt to stop giving his online businesses pageviews. Less pageviews lowers the amount of inventory the websites can sell which means revenue will drop. It will also allow users to support smaller websites that compete with News Corp who report the real facts without an agenda whilst having respect for their readers - something News Corp has long gone without. Put simply: installing this extension will block all websites that Rupert Murdoch controls.

Hex Init 2021-12-09 Great little extension, install it on your parents computer so they stop talking gibberish!
Joshua McKenzie 2021-11-27 https://decider.com/ nol blocked. works ok
Nintendo Dringus 2021-10-30 Brilliant
Jack McSomeone 2021-10-01 It's really good, but I would like to be able to customise what sites are blocked. The only Murdoch owned service I will ever pay for is Kayo Sports, unless the Murdoch monopoly on sports coverage in Australia becomes no more
Tan R 2021-09-23 This extension is brilliant. I was clicking on many sites without knowing they were owned by Murdoch. I refuse to give money to a man who has done so much damage to democracy.
