AntiRickRoll: Block Rickroll Attempts - Firefox Add-On

AntiRickRoll is a user-friendly Firefox extension that shields you from the internet prank known as 'rickrolling'. It operates quietly in the background, giving you the confidence to click on links without the fear of being redirected to Rick Astley's 'Never Gonna Give You Up' video. It is privacy-respecting, frequently updated, open-source and free.

I really like the plugin. It blocks most rickrolls I've encountered, but I'd really like to see two more features: - a detection for YouTube-Embeds - a detection of keywords in the Website title
