This is exactly what I need! Thank you. I'm sick of hearing about these few people, who think their word is better than ours because of their wealth and inheritance.

Thank you for this, @aCosmicWave@lemm.ee! I added this extension to my Firefox install because I am really sick of the same thing.

Create a filter for uBO maybe? I run a number of specialized filters in uBO. A "block the rich filter" would be good. The advantage there is content can be removed from view completely, not just blurred.

Yes, dammit. In fact this is the final nudge I needed to reinstall Firefox after many years. Yours will be one of the first plugins in the install queue. Thank you, good sir.

Count me in

Isn't it important to keep tabs on what the obscenely powerful are up to? I.e. to try to hold them accountable, to be informed on what you're protesting and criticizing, to prepare for what they're going to do next that may affect you?

You brilliant, brilliant person.

I love the concept!

For me, the button of the extension doesn't work to toggle it on or off, so I can't find a way to view the blurred text without disabling the extension completely. So that would be a bit frustrating - sometimes I might want to read it, as in this post. If it's upgraded with an easy on/off toggle I'll probably start using it. :)

Blurred text also makes me somewhat curious by nature - a feature request would be to keep blurring images, but instead of blurring the text just changing the name of the person into "some asshole" or something like that. So that you get the substance of the headline without having to deal with the people.

Would be nice to use AI and determine whether the article youre blocking is positive about them or negative and only show the negative ones.

Lolz, it is crazy what one needs to do to prevail sanity these days

i like this idea because when i go to read the news i do not care about what rich people are doing.

I like the idea behind this extension and would love to use it. However, I would really appreciate the ability to tweak the blocklist. Not that I enjoy seeing or hearing about Trump everyday, but I do want to stay in the loop with the ongoing court cases he's getting rammed with. If I never hear or see Elon, Zuck, etc. again then I'd be happy.

Will you be providing how many times each rich asshole was blocked, perhaps a monthly report? Because that's the icing on the cake.

Lots of people say that we shouldn't be ignoring troublesome topics. I disagree.

Exposure and anger won't fix anything. It'll only degrade our quality of Life. It's just like reading about plane crashes won't get us anywhere ( unless it's part of your job)
