Bye Rupert - A Free Extension That Blocks Rupert Murdoch's Websites
We have built a free extension called Bye Rupert that will block all of Rupert Murdoch's websites, from Fox News and his other news networks in Australia to Sky News Australia and any other Murdoch-owned media website.
Rupert Murdoch is a highly controversial media mogul, whose media empire has been in the news a lot recently. This is thanks to the Australian Government's decision to cut the license fee for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and National Broadband Network (NBN). These two news networks were criticized for giving the ABC and NBN a platform to share their political agenda. Murdoch himself was also heavily criticized for his handling of the Australian bush fires in 2016.
What is it?
Bye Rupert is an open-source extension that lets you block any website that Rupert Murdoch owns. It does this by altering your browser settings. It also blocks a wide range of other websites that aren't owned by Murdoch.
