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:

  1. Right-click Osprey's icon in your extension toolbar.

  2. 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

  1. Open chrome://extensions or edge://extensions and turn on Developer mode.
  2. Open Osprey's settings and click service worker under Inspect views.
  3. Go to the Application tab. From there, click Extension storage and then Local.
  4. You should see two keys: Settings and allowedCache, which is the cache we want to modify.
  5. You can delete the entire cache by right-clicking it and clicking Delete.
  6. 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

  1. Open about:addons, click the gear, and select Debug Add-ons.
  2. Click the Inspect next to Osprey and go to Storage.
  3. Expand the Extension Storage field and click the moz-extension:// result.
  4. You should see two keys: Settings and allowedCache, which is the cache we want to modify.
  5. You can delete the entire cache by right-clicking it and clicking Delete "allowedCache".
  6. 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.
