About WebControl
Student WebControl
Control student web browsing while on campus:
- When students attempt to access a website, the extension will check the website URL against lists of "allowed" and "blocked" keywords.
- Lists of "allowed" and "blocked" keywords are hosted at:
- http://web-control/webcontrol.txt
- Entries listed under "match-and-allow" list will ignore the "block" list.
- Entries listed under "match-and-block" list will redirect or close the tab if query URL contains a match.
- If the URL contains blocked keyword, it will attempt to redirect student to "redirect URL": http://web-control/index.html
- If the "redirect URL" is unreachable, it will close the tab instead.
Example:
Comment lines start with "#" character
The following lists will redirect any tab with a URL containing ".game" or "movies",
but will allow "allowed.movies.game" website.
match-and-allow allowed.movies.game
match-and-block .game movies

All 20 WebControl alternativesData source
Covers every Chrome Web Store extension with at least 100 users, found through the store's public sitemap. User counts are read from public listing pages. The 10% most-used extensions are refreshed daily, the next 40% weekly and the next 40% monthly; the least-used 10% are not refreshed. Google displays rounded user counts (and caps the display at 10,000,000+), so small changes may not be visible. Rating counts above 1,000 are rounded (e.g. 1.6K).
