On 29 Oct 2012, I noted that Google was curating extensions through the Chrome Web Store.
On 07 Nov 2013, Google announced that local Chrome extensions will be blocked on the Windows platform starting in January 2014.
It is not clear to me if this prevents the Download/Drag/Drop workaround that allowed Chrome users to install the Ignore Script in the past.
My guess would be that it does, so people using the Ignore Script on Google Chrome on Microsoft Windows may find that the script no longer works in January 2014 with no way to reinstall the script.
Unfortunately, I haven't owned a computer running Microsoft Windows for a number of years.
I cannot provide support for this issue, because I have no means of testing a solution.
Possible workarounds are:
1. Switch from Chrome to Firefox (and install Greasemonkey)
2. Switch from Windows to Linux or OS X
Another possibility is that I could get a developer account on the Chrome Web Store and maintain a distribution up there for Windows/Chrome folks.
Are there any users here on the messageboards who are tied to Windows/Chrome?
Let me know if this is something you'd like me to do.

I'm a Firefox user so this doesn't affect me, but I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank you so much for the effort you've put into this. I wouldn't be able to use these forums without it.

Very, very much agreed.
I prefer Chrome. It's faster and synced with all my devices without me having to do anything.

Are you running Chrome on Microsoft Windows?
Do you use the Ignore Script?
I am using Chrome on Windows 7 (and on my android). I use the ignore script but I don't have anyone I'm currently ignoring so I don't know how well it works. When I did, it worked great.
