Create a filter for uBO maybe? I run a number of specialized filters in uBO. A "block the rich filter" would be good. The advantage there is content can be removed from view completely, not just blurred.

Thank you for this, @aCosmicWave@lemm.ee! I added this extension to my Firefox install because I am really sick of the same thing.

Lolz, it is crazy what one needs to do to prevail sanity these days

Count me in

It's in a bit of a strange position.

It blurs the Images, but doesn't block the article or text?

Maybe for some people it can mean something, tho for me it's a bit of a not interesting feature. Like what is the purpose of bluring the image if I still get spammed with the article?

And this may be the real issue where you didn't get traction. The feature pretty useless for the majority of people.

Yes, dammit. In fact this is the final nudge I needed to reinstall Firefox after many years. Yours will be one of the first plugins in the install queue. Thank you, good sir.

i like this idea because when i go to read the news i do not care about what rich people are doing.

You brilliant, brilliant person.

If you could find a way to funnel the blocked content’s address to pi-hole it would just never load which is better imo

I love the concept!

For me, the button of the extension doesn't work to toggle it on or off, so I can't find a way to view the blurred text without disabling the extension completely. So that would be a bit frustrating - sometimes I might want to read it, as in this post. If it's upgraded with an easy on/off toggle I'll probably start using it. :)

Blurred text also makes me somewhat curious by nature - a feature request would be to keep blurring images, but instead of blurring the text just changing the name of the person into "some asshole" or something like that. So that you get the substance of the headline without having to deal with the people.

Would be nice to use AI and determine whether the article youre blocking is positive about them or negative and only show the negative ones.

I love this! I also wouldn't mind to never hear from many of these buttholes again. Though I don't mind hearing from Gates, so maybe would be nice to choose which ones.

I think you should be able to block people and companies. I’m tired of hearing about Tesla, people hyping Tesla, people doubting Tesla, bragging, complaining, questioning. I’m just done hearing about it.

But what if I want to make fun of their L takes.

Very cool add on. I don’t really browse on a standard browser usually, but this is something I would add to my browser if I did. I feel the same as you, tired of billionaires thinking their hoarded wealth makes their opinions more valid or worth hearing.

I need the opposite haha... Gimme content for @eattherich

This is AMAZING! Thank you. Running it now :)

Love it. Keep going.
