Clearing Allowed Sites List - Foulest/Osprey GitHub Wiki
If you accidentally clicked 'Continue anyway' or 'Temporarily allow this website' on a link and want to clear the list of allowed websites, here's how:
-
Right-click Osprey's icon in your extension toolbar.
-
Click the 'Clear list of allowed sites' setting in the context menu.
If you want to modify the list directly in the extension's local storage cache, here's how:
Chrome/Edge
- Open
chrome://extensions
oredge://extensions
and turn on Developer mode. - Open Osprey's settings and click
service worker
underInspect views
. - Go to the
Application
tab. From there, clickExtension storage
and thenLocal
. - You should see two keys:
Settings
andallowedCache
, which is the cache we want to modify. - You can delete the entire cache by right-clicking it and clicking
Delete
. - You can edit the values by right-clicking the values, clicking
Edit "Value"
, and copying the list.- If you decide to edit it, I recommend using a JSON beautifier to make it more readable.
- After editing the list, copy and paste it back into place. Make sure to reload the extension.
Firefox
- Open
about:addons
, click the gear, and selectDebug Add-ons
. - Click the
Inspect
next to Osprey and go toStorage
. - Expand the
Extension Storage
field and click themoz-extension://
result. - You should see two keys:
Settings
andallowedCache
, which is the cache we want to modify. - You can delete the entire cache by right-clicking it and clicking
Delete "allowedCache"
. - You can edit the values by double-clicking the values and copying the list.
- If you decide to edit it, I recommend using a JSON beautifier to make it more readable.
- After editing the list, copy and paste it back into place. Make sure to reload the extension.
The reason I don't plan on creating a page to edit the allowed websites cache is that the cache is long. Please note that if you click 'Continue anyway' on a blocked page, the URL will be added to that specific provider's cache and remain ignored for 24 hours. Also note that if you click 'Temporarily allow this website', the URL will be added to every provider's cache and remain ignored for 24 hours. You are actively telling Osprey that it got it wrong, and that the page isn't malicious, and should no longer be blocked by continuing.
