Extension summary

Filter unwanted content from sites you visit!

If you're sick and tired of having your Facebook or Twitter feed, or favorite news portal cluttered by posts on celebrities or topics that you can't stand anymore, try SiftScript to make them go away. Simply input the word or a phrase you wish to hide, and SiftScript will hide any part of the site containing it, alongside nearby images!

The hiding algorithm is fast and exhaustive, with additional options to make it faster or more accurate.

You can also opt to have the content replaced by the SiftScript image, which you can click to reveal what's hidden underneath.

The extension also works well with dynamic websites such as Facebook and Twitter.

The keywords & keyphrases list is synced to your Google account, meaning that you can use the same preferences on any Chrome installation where you're signed in.

Although SiftScript works well on most websites, it might have trouble with some specific sites due to the way they are structured - please report those issues to [email protected] and help us make the product better! Thank you!

Finally! No more politics, healthy food bs or New Jersey for me. Loved it.

After installing, the first thing that comes to your attention is the elegantly designed button that, when pressed, gives a box in which you write in the notorious lines that plague your existence. Simple and elegant solution to the problem, and I give it the 5 stars it deserves.
