Add Blocker - a solution for annoying Google+ notifications

I like Google Plus. I think that if it gets more acceptance it will be the perfect solution for all of us nerds to play around in (until our moms find it). I really get irritated, however, in the current notification system. For some reason we all seem to be complaining about a lot of notifications that boil down to "someone you don't know is following you on Google+" Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that people are interested in what I have to say in general. However, I don't need a telegram every time I get a follower. I do however, need a telegram when someone shares something with me, or comments on a post. 


 


I built Addblocker to do just that. No longer will you be plagued by "Some guy just followed you on Google +". 


 


So far it only works in GMail, but I'm working on every other Google property. Without further ado:

Here is the GitHub in case you'd like to make any changes. It's using jQuery right now as it was a demo for jQuery conf, however, I will likely remove it as it's not necessary for this particular extension, so keep that in mind. 


 


Please let me know if you run into any bugs, or issues.
