Not ready for prime time. Either blocks sites entirely, or lets the dreaded T-word through.
It worked really well for a while until I would open specific articles and pages, they would load for a second, and then the screen would go blank. The article has nothing to do with politics, but suggested articles mentioned the name, so the entire page disappeared. I could only open them in incognito mode and then I realized what was going on. The extension "Remove D***** T**** from Facebook" works better for me.
It didn't work at all.
removes content from whole websites making them unusable and completely blank.
This extension is perfect for little snowflakes who are easily triggered by anything that violates their flimsy delusional utopian worldview. So instead of engaging on a rational level complex issues and controversial opinions, this wonderful extension allows one to pretend they don't exist. If you have Trump Derangement Syndrome, install this extension for instant relief!
Simply not good enough, in its current state. Even though i appreciate the care the developer has given in the past, the software available on this page feels badly maintained, and has been for too long. That is all.
useless. blocked out pretty much everything
we have already the fake news
Great for the computer, if I need news I will at the newspaper.
Other reviews are correct that it does block out entire news sites, it includes anything related to the upcoming election. Googling candidate names, 2020, or most controversial topics (gun control, abortion, etc.) will block out a lot of results even if they don't mention him. However, it's super easy to toggle back on and off so if you just need a break from politics in general it's easy to flip on and off as needed. I would love it if they could improve it to not block out all articles but it's nice to use for taking small political breaks.
This works very well for me. I had to toggle the filter setting from mild to aggressive and back to mild and reload the page after installation. Otherwise, this makes reading CNN.com possible for me again! Thank you!
I hate Turmp tired of seeing his ugly smirk and fat face on my computer!
Nice idea, but implementation is too much "hammer" and not enough "scalpel". Blocks entire news sites when all I really want to eliminate is politics from my homepage.
The best - truly the very best. covfefe.
god bless who ever made this
Seems to be filtering everything even articles I've just read that have no mention of Trump whatsoever.
There are glithces, but I just love the concept!
Was actually too aggressive. Blocked my whole my.yahoo page and EVERY RSS feed, not just ones with references to Trump. Uninstalled.
removed entire web pages such as yahoo, so i can't look at anything, trump related or not...
It totally blanked out any webpage that might have a hint of Trump on it. It's not practical and needs work. But I'm grateful to not see Trump on my internet anymore.
Removes too much.
Not working at all.
Still seeing Trump Trump Trump news everywhere I look.
This blanks out the entire page where Trump is mentioned which is not great! wish it could recursively remove his mentions. More so I want something to remove Trump tweets from twitter. Anyone know of anything?
in alignment with other reviwers, i wish it would just take out the 45 content, not the entire page lol. maybe the author should check with the folks who made the 'stop normalizing alt right' extension
Along with others, I, too, was disappointed to discover that all page contents were removed upon any mention of Trump. If you play a card game using a trump suit, those webpage results were filtered as well. I would rather have paragraphs of text removed than the entire body of the website.
Disappointingly slows down my already slow PC and only tells me there is a mention of Trump on every page. Duh, I can see he's on every page. Why isn't the (partial) content removed, as the extension promises?
Doesn't work. Breaks pages. Don't install.
Can't stand that imbecile, glad this plugin exists! Yes it removes the entire page but at least you don't have to even glance at that ridiculous hair and orange tint. It would be nice if you put a notice in place declaring that the plugin has done it's work. But the pros outweigh the cons in my books!
If Donald shows up ANYWHERE on the page, instead of blocking just that instance, it blocks out the whole page. I did a search on doomsday clock and just got a blank page because Donald was mentioned. Would be five stars if it only blocked out that one instance, but it blocks out the whole page. Even on pages where he is mentioned ONCE, it gets blocked out.
Thank you for helping my loved ones retain their sanity by preventing Trump from invading their browsing.
This makes me so happy! #notmypresident #putinspawn
I really only wanted this for my Facebook feed and it does what I wanted. Some posts still get through but it works better than blood pressure meds for me! If I want to see what the orange baboon is up to I can go to news sites.
It worked pretty well on facebook... but as others have stated, it removes entire news site pages which is not very practical. But you are on the right track.. this is a product that people want.. needs some work :) Good luck
Blocks whole page
rubbishhhh
I don't expect something like this to be perfect, it would be tricky to remove all Trump references correctly. It is such a relief to be rid of most Trump references while browsing. It's made my browsing experience much more pleasant. It is also better than the other Trump filter I tried. Thanks and Kudos to the author!
worked well :)
It works. You can see some articles on mild but aggressive or above blocks much more and a lot of web pages won't load. You'll start to believe that there is no news.
Breaks pages with Trump content. Notably, Google Plus only displays a blank page when this is loaded. Deleted from Chrome. Don't install.
Doesn't work. Blanked out my entire Google news page instead of just the Trump headlines. Use Trump Blocker instead.
This needs some serious help. It won't load pages. Someone said to look at Yahoo News. They're right. It's completely blank. This should act as a filter as in you filter out Trump information and leave other things intact. This is like putting a coffee filter in your coffeemaker and the entire grounds going into the pot. It makes it gross and useless.
It is a work in progress but it is a noble project. I unfollowed all news feeds in FB & Twitter just to avoid this subject. I even changed my search engine to DuckDuckGo as Google results are peppered with the American Voldemort. Probably I will have to master RSS feeds with keyword exclusions but what a pain. Do we not have the right to avoid a the "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named"?? Good luck to the developers!
I was hoping this would let me filter out images of Trump and ajust my settings based on what I want to see. However it is not selective enough and it blanked out entire websites that had a mix of Trump and non-Trump news. Not recommended.
great idea. not working. sad.
I quite looked forward to using this, but it was disappointing. Apparently, whenever "Donald Trump" appears in a webpage, it reloads and blanks out the ENTIRE page. (Try Googling "Yahoo News" and you'll see what I mean... Not even the search results are visible!) That's hardly practical.
Don't waste your time. It blocks entire pages just because the word "Trump" shows up and that is on the "Mild" setting (or any setting for that matter). It seems to depend on the page layout, which is probably the only way it can work, but it blocks way too many news pages for me.
i hate trump
it is bad
It doesn't seem to be able to filter out posts that mention trump and display the rest. I was loading facebook for example, and i simply could not load the page, because trump filter insisted that there was some mention of trump SOMEWHERE on the entire website. So it's too buggy for my use. If it blocked out just these posts then great! but not the entire website.
This works great, but i have had post disappear. I kept getting notifications but could never return, until I turned this off and went back to my original post found the commit where someone mention tRump hide their commit then turn this back on. It also doesn't block meme's that mention tRump, but over all for what it does it is excellent.
It made my crops flourish, my skin clear, and it pays me $500 a month. 100000/10
Doesn't work.
Blocks the whole page.
works great for me. It like a breath of fresh air in a gas chamber lately.
he is a mean person
It works, but it filters for words with "trump" in it, such as "trumpet." Even on the mild setting. Being a producer and musician with other musicians and producers on his social media feed, this leads to many frustrations. But, when it comes to things outside of music, it definitely works.
Very Low Energy. Sad!
Blanks out entire pages. This might work for some cases, but renders most sites completely useless.
If the word Trump in on any page the whole page shows up as blank. This isn't anything like the Kardashian filter that only removes their names and links to articles about them.
I am still seeing this A hole wherever I go. I can't change the filter off off mild. I need extreme filtering!
Rating high for the idea, but it didn't work for me. I downloaded it specifically for Twitter, but once it registers "Trump" the entire page goes blank. Needs some tuning, but excited about the possibility of a Trump free experience. Do Trump supporters have jobs? Or do they troll these reviews for a living?
LOVE! Best App all year. If you could get it to remove pictures containing orange or straw then I wouldn't even have to see the mug!
Good idea, poor execution. Word replacer extension works better instead of blanking a whole page with other content.
Doesn't work.
oh thank God this exists. Whatever the outcome, I can have a Trump-free existence.
It doesn't work
does not work on google plus
It just blocked Twitter altogether, awesome work.
I find that browsing on facebook and youtube it completely blocks the page Please fix this, it's a great idea but it needs fixing
Unfortunately, it kills my online Bridge playing. There is a Donald in our group. It effectively erases that other Trump, but even set on stun, it is too limiting. 'Twas fun to play with, but cannot see this as a useful ext. for daily driving.
I've wanted something like this even before he started running for president. Thanks for giving me my sanity back.
Great idea! but in practice the filter breaks a lot of websites I frequent.
I installed the extension and went to google news to test it. Everything disappeared, not just Trump stories. Everything. Not useful.
LOVED IT
i like it i had to uninstall it once to watch some stuff on youtube but no biggie.
thank you so much for this gift google. this should be mandatory for the entire internet.
THANK GOD FOR THIS EXTENSION!!!! To everyone who thinks this is censorship, please look up the definition and get back to me. It's not even close to censorship so don't pull that card on me, it doesn't work I bet they are all trump supports and absolutely HATE this extension. There are a few quirks with this, but hopefully it'll get fixed soon.
Love it!
Can't stump the Trump!
YES!!!!
The concept for this tool is straight out of George Orwell's 1984. The Ministry of Truth would be so proud of this developer. The internet is arguably the greatest tool ever devised for the free and open exchange of information. And yet, some people seem to embrace censorship with a glee and abandon that is extremely disconcerting. If you legitimately think a tool like this is a good idea, then you must really be a fan of propaganda. Full disclosure, I do not like either the Obama Administration or the current leadership in the U.S. Congress. However, I would never choose to close my eyes and shut my ears to the goings on of the world around me. The safe-space that some people seem to crave is in actuality only safe from the free market of ideas. Tools like this are a sheer act of intellectual cowardice. No different from a seven year old child sticking their fingers in their ears screaming "I'm not listening" when their elders are trying to tell them something important. And while I'm not a huge fan of Ayn Rand, she did say at least one thing that I agree with. “We can ignore reality, but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.” We ignore the world around us at our own peril.
Facebook page cannot even open after installing this.
It cleans out various web pages that are helpful, like you tube where he does not appear and wont stop him from appearing on face book. And it is impossible to remove once you have it. This is a trojan.
Thank you for helping to block this Xenophobic Racist Sociopath....
I read the support section first so I would know how to control this extension. I love it and love that this is available!!
Amazing Extension. Now I will not see any hate speech on the Internet anymore.
I can't use the internet anymore. Even my facebook page was blank! It's too disruptive! Now what to do?!!
Anything more than a Mild setting, nothing shows up. Come on man! Your filter is filtering EVERY page and kills everything for my viewing pleasure. Fix It!
Nice concept, but anything more than Mild shows blank pages.
Best idea I've heard of for a content filter. Obviously doesn't work too well, but 5 stars for the brilliant concept.
it was a nice thought and I had high hopes but it blocked all the msn.com content. now I have to figure out how to remove it...
I installed this app thinking it would help turn the internet into my own personal safe space. But I often find Trump info still getting through. I'm considering a lawsuit against the developer of this extension to get him to pay for my PTSD.
I like the idea but it either blocks websites i want to go to or forgets to block ones with trump.
Can't they call it the Stump filter or something? Seeing Trump in my extensions list is triggering me, literally. It's the current year guys come on.
I like it but for some reason I'm having trouble changing it from mild to vindictive. Anyone know how? I keep switching it to vindictive but it switches back
This is the best thing ever.
I analyzed this extension and found that it is loaded with tracking scripts and other malicious things. You might install this thinking the joke is on Trump, but really the joke is on you. If something is free, then you just might be the product.
Thank you.
Unfortunately, it doesn't affect Facebook.
