Block File Types

Block File Types is a Chrome add-on developed by Clay. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically classified as an Add-ons & Tools application. This program allows users to block local file types from opening in the browser.

With Block File Types, administrators can configure the blocked file types using JSON. The JSON configuration includes a "blocktypes" key with a corresponding array value. Users can specify the file types they want to block by adding them to the array. For example, if the administrator wants to block HTML and JavaScript files, they can set the value of "blocktypes" to ["html", "js"].

This add-on provides a simple and effective way to prevent certain file types from being opened in the browser, adding an extra layer of security and control. It is a free tool, making it accessible to a wide range of users.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
