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.

What a brilliant idea and a service you are doing our country.
Awesome job, thanks!
giving it 1 star because you guys have broken the back button and if i am web searching, click on a link which is on the blacklist, i can’t go back to the searches. do you guys not even use your own extension?
This is great! Is there something similar for fairfax?
Installed for a better Australia, great idea dev.
Great idea, works well, wish the block looked friendlier or had some humour to it! The block message feels very spammy
Losing one star because it blocks jobseekers from actually finding work which Seek doesn’t have via careerone.com.au which jobactive uses . Need to start a whitelist option even if we don’t like him.
Might be cool to highlight Murdoch sites in google searches. I also 2nd the idea of a button to show the archive.org or similar site
Excellent extension! Works very well. I couldn’t believe how many websites Murdoch controls – about 86!
Amazing. The list of sites it has access to checks out.
It would be good if this came with Chrome by default 🙂 To allow one site, you need to manually select all other sites, would be good if the devs could fix that.
Just had a “Stokes” page blocked by this extension. PerthNow. Just lost 4 stars for me. Was 5 before this happened.
Amazing! Be-gone gutter trash journalism!
Love the premise, but just had to remove it because it blocks realestate.com.
It’s be great if you had a pause feature.
Thank you!
Awesome idea, great job!
Genius. Rupert is a verucous pustule of vitriol, nothing more.
Good to see. Sharing it.
Great idea. Can you add the option for similar sites (From a UK point of view Daily mail/Express/Telegraph – They are equally vile and controlling)?
News.com.au is owned by Murdoch? still coming up in searches. Be great if you could get this working properly.
Great idea. Could we get a list of the sites it blocks? I’m not quite sure which media he owns. I just assume it’s all the shittiest papers.
May this be a popular trend!
Would be good if it had an option to direct links to archive.org or something that doesn’t give them clicks.
Thanks for helping to rid the world of this corrupt scumbag and all he stands for. Let’s all do our part to boycott #newscorpse
Stop Spreading Murdoch Lies with this extension!
