This plugin is useful to stop you from accidentally updating a plugin that fails
when updated. Please can you bring it up to WP6.2?

After I installed it, then selected the plugin to block, it still shows the plugin
needing an update in the update screen.

As the title suggest the plugin does not work within a multisite/network environment.

Minimal UI and it just works. Nice job. One recommendation I have is that it would
be nice to be able to add notes on the plugins.php screen to inform why updating
of a plugin is disabled.
