Extension Usage Instructions

                        This extension will block any Twitter Blue Verified users on Twitter. It ignores organizational verifications, but will otherwise block ANY blue verified users. Inspired by the #BlockTheBlue campaign.

Elon has started giving blue verification to users and celebrities who did not buy it. Sadly, they will still be blocked because it is impossible to know who did and didn't pay. To get around this, the extension only blocks verified users once. If you unblock someone blocked by this extension, they will never be blocked by the extension again.

The extension will not block verified users you follow.
The extension will not block yellow checkmarks (organizations).
The extension will not block grey checkmarks (politicians).

I doubt the Twitter API would have ever allowed this for long, so this extension directly interacts with Twitter's DOM (Document Object Model). As such, you will briefly see the pop-ups of the blocking interface. 

This extension was made late at night, so sorry if there are errors or it goes haywire. Currently, it seems to be working as intended but time will tell.

The maximum accounts that can be blocked on Twitter is 125,000 so its doubtful you will hit that limit anytime soon.

Good luck, happy #BlockTheBlue -ing!
