Extension summary

Analyze keywords

**Jun18, 2023 update includes "Performance mode" which is enabled by default and should speed up the hiding of the elements.

This extension is meant to be an easy and efficient way to hide web elements and ads based on the text they contain.

It hides for example twitter posts, news articles, facebook posts, twitch comments etc. if they contain a keyword set by you. You can also blur them out instead of hiding them completely. Blurred elements can be revealed with mouse hover.

Donate button is given on the popup and on clicking it redirects to paypal.com

KEYWORD OPTIONS By default keywords are case-sensitive but you can also set them case-insensitive and decide if the word should appear exactly as you've written it (e.g. CAT but not eduCATion). Examples of the keyword options can be found on the popup screen of the extension.

TESTING MODE The extension has a testing mode which highlights the elements with green borders instead of hiding them. Testing mode makes it easy to see what is going to be hidden with the current keywords.
