Jay cho (ID: 000000c0b0a1cca8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/16/2023 This is the best text-blocking extension that exists. But it's a shame that I can't see the list of sites that I've set up to block certain texts so far. If the filter is updated to be fine-controlled like U-block, the usability will increase tremendously.

bun nyd (ID: 000000aab71f005c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/14/2023 Makes reading a website so much better. Wish there was an option to export the settings you set.

Đức Trung (ID: 00000053d1ca884a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/06/2022 Nice!

Political politics (ID: 000000ff52df0db0) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/03/2022 Can it block whole URLs too? As it is it hides the main domain but the rest still makes it clickable... Also, it removed all the words I had at one point...

senselocke (ID: 00000032ede7ccf9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/17/2020 Oh hell yes. This is brilliant. It lets you replace any string with a different one. So, using RegEx, "(Donald )?( J\.?)? Trump" is replaced with "Lord Dampnut". I wish I could get this on mobile, it'll make the news so much more pleasant nicer to read. I cackle every time it triggers.
