Meta Shield by LRBC

Meta Shield is a lightweight, high-performance privacy extension built explicitly for users who demand absolute control over their web traffic.

Unlike restrictive Manifest V3 architectures that limit your blocking capabilities, Meta Shield leverages the full, unthrottled power of legacy Manifest V2 APIs to filter background data streams client-side, right on your own hardware.

🛡️ KEY FEATURES:
• Real-Time Network Interception: Dynamically drops hidden requests to connect.facebook.net, tracking pixels, and conversion APIs before they can profile your habits.
• Per-Tab Analytics: The toolbar badge counter isolates data, tracking and displaying blocked elements strictly for the page you are currently viewing.
• Active Shield Toggle: Control your protection instantly with a responsive popup switch.
• Dark-Mode Grayscale Feedback: The entire user dashboard and native browser toolbar icon shift to a high-contrast black-and-white state when deactivated, providing instant visual confirmation.

⚖️ LEGAL & TRANSPARENCY:
Meta Shield is an independent open-source software project. It is completely unaffiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by Meta Platforms, Inc., Facebook, Instagram, or any of its subsidiaries.

This tool operates 100% locally and client-side, exercising the user's inherent right to monitor data privacy and filter network packet execution on their own personal hardware. Zero user data is collected, logged, or transmitted.
