Extension summary

Detects and blacks out any posts on Facebook or Reddit, tweets on Twitter, or stories on Google News that mention Game of Thrones or many other GoT-related terms, such as 'Winterfell' or 'Targaryen'.

New feature! You can now automatically hide spoilers completely rather than black them out, helping fortify your mental internet sanctuary. :)

Any blocked spoiler can be viewed by the brave of heart by clicking on the blacked-out area-- this will cause the post to be gradually unveiled, giving you about 3 more seconds to glance away!

This project is now open-source! https://github.com/stu-blair/game-of-spoils

This project in active development, so please share your feedback, feature requests, and any bugs found. Hope you enjoy, and do tread lightly, for the internet is dark and full of spoilers.

New in v1.3.1 ~ Added support for blocking Reddit comments (previously it only blocked posts). Note that comments and posts on Game of Thrones-themed subreddits will not be affected, cuz that would be silly and block everything :) ~ Fixed support for Google News, Feedly, Buzzfeed ~ A few other minor improvements

Simply dont work. Seems the phrases I add only makes the spoilers I see more specific. As if it was a whitelist, rather than a blacklist.

No filtra nada... supongo que puede ser porque esté en inglés, pero ni publicaciones que contienen "spoiler" or "got" me marca...
