What is Hyperweb?
Hyperweb is a revolutionary Chrome extension that adds state-of-the-art features to online search. It allows users to filter search results from different perspectives, customize filters as per needs, and compile trustworthy sites for improved search results in the future. It also offers an option to mute undesired sites. Registered organizations can share filters and lists of trusted sites.

Extension summary

FILTERS WITH BETTER PERSPECTIVES: Filter search results to perspectives you care about, e.g. to just a handful of sites, health sources doctors read, car insider forums, etc.

CREATE YOUR OWN FILTERS: Every filter can be fully customized and you can create your own filters from scratch. See our community curated collections of lenses at https://bazaar.insight.so/#desktop

OPEN SOURCE AND PRIVATE: Hyperweb never sends any of your data to servers. It is also 100% open source.

TRUSTED SOURCES: Mark sites you trust to have them feature more prominently in future searches and create a filter that searches only sources you trust.

MUTING: Hide results from sites you don't like in future searches.

FOR GROUPS: Companies and organizations can use Hyperweb together and share filters, blocklists and trusted site lists.

Broke another one of my extensions so I had to remove it
by Hams Profrogger, 2022-09-14

What I liked: I got a much better search experience! What I really didn't like: it caused an injected stylesheet with "html, body { width: 100% !important; max-width: 100% !important; }" on every page, making TONS of sites have a horizontal scroll bar that scrolls like 10 pixels. Meh.
