Reddit Political Post Blocker Extension

Tired of political posts flooding your Reddit feed? The Reddit Political Post Blocker (RPPB) is here to help! This extension filters out political posts, allowing you to enjoy a politics-free browsing experience on Reddit.

With comprehensive keyword filtering, RPPB automatically blocks posts containing political keywords to keep your feed clean.

If you choose to view a blocked post, the \"Open Post\" button makes it easy. Experience Reddit the way you want—free from unwanted political content.

Please note that due to the limitations of filtering by keywords, some posts may still not be filtered, and the addon cannot detect context in images.
