I'm no JS expert[1] but this doesn't look correct:
# https://github.com/marlabrizel/genius-blocker/blob/master/lib/genius/blocker.rb#L11
var annotated = window.location.href.indexOf("genius.it/") != -1;
if (annotated) {
window.location.href = window.location.href.replace("genius.it/", "")
}
Wouldn't this match any instance of "genius.it" throughout the URL, not just at the beginning?
For example it'd match "https://example.com/blog/how-to-block-genius.it" and redirect the user to a (probably) non-existent link with that string removed.
