As much as I also hate Gawker, I don't see the point of masking clicks to them. If you truly don't give a shit about them: don't consume their content, nor promote them to others.

Well, basically, I was reading http://pando.com/2013/12/26/look-whos-gawking-inside-nick-de... and found myself wanting to know the context of several of his claims. There must be 10 or 20 links to valleywag in there. I felt conflicted between my desire to know what he was talking about, and my desire not to give gawker my clicks. So I did what any good techie would do: I solved the problem.

Also, I mean, I learned how to make chrome extensions.

Well, carry on, then!

Since you don't read Valleywag, I think it's important to note that one of their criticisms of the technology class is a pervasive attitude of "I can have my cake and eat it too".
