Begone

Define your prohibited words/pictures list. Any page element, post or article containing one of these words it's censored.

This plugin filters out any page element containing text or pictures that you don't want to see. Because everyone on the internet not only keeps posting about things you are uninterested in, but does it so repeatedly that sometimes it feels like being harassed. Remove from your browsing experience, from your favorite social network or blog all the articles about matters and subjects you're absolutely done with, stop visualizing these things all day long! It works by scanning html attributes, css styles names, image filenames and when there's a match with one of the words you've added to the list that element is removed or blurred, depending on your preferences. Obviously this scanning came at the cost of a slightly slower page loading , but as long you don't utilize a really obsolete computer this really won't be an issue.

There's an all new "artificial intelligence" tab for images only: you can pick the categories of things you want to remove from your browsing experience and when the image detection does trigger, the image gets blurred. Due to the experimental nature of this new A.I. feature and its limitations, categories selected in this tab can misfire from time to time, but overall it does a reasonably decent job. A more clever implementation of a.i. image detection it's in the works.

No ads, no fees, no in-app purchases, no tricks. I made this extension for me and my buddies, if you want to utilize it as well be my guest but don't expect too much from any complaint. On the other hand, constructive suggestions are gladly welcome.

changelog: 1.10:

  • preferences initialization and persistence has a better syncronization system
  • for a page element to match it's now necessary an entire-word match. E.g.: adding the word "cat" before also censored "categories", "locality" etc.... Now only matches "cat".
  • added a specific toggle to switch on and off the AI detection
  • added a short description to the AI tab
  • word minimum length lowered to 3 characters

finally found a censor that actually works and is not catered towards sjw. however, it sometimes censors completely safe phrases from before my trigger was even a thing, such as "vsauce says prime numbers for 3 hours" video title when in recomendations. overall im satisfied though

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Begone requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Begone may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
