    I like this extension for browsing the web, but when I launch jupyter notebooks from the terminal, I have to disable this addon so it will redirect to the localhost port properly. It would be nice to have a way to add per-site exceptions, or an exception for localhost in general.

    Hey I have a working version of the whitelist in beta. If you'd be interested in testing it out please follow the instructions here https://github.com/ACK-J/Port_Authority/issues/32#issuecomment-1720072034

    Edit 3/11/25: Mozilla just approved PortAuthority v2.0.0 which has persistent settings and added the whitelist (gear icon). Enjoy!

    Great plugin to prevent websites from port scanning you. It blocks every method of scanning I could think of; HTTP HTTPS and websockets
