Get Trump off your internet with this Chrome add-on
A new add-on for Google Chrome allows users to strip any mentions of the Republican presidential candidate from the web pages they’re perusing. So, if you’d like to start the new year off right, and you use Chrome to browse, you can use Trump Filter. The creator, Rob Spectre, describes the act as an “antidote” for Trump’s “toxic candidacy”.
Spectre wrote that the Trump Filter is open source and does not track your web usage. But at least it’s a lot easier to turn off a TV, and who knows?
He said he created the extension to take the spotlight off Trump and give concerned citizens the opportunity to actually focus on other candidates and learn about the issues.
“I am doing this out of a profound sense of annoyance and patriotic duty”, Spectre said on a page promoting the extension. Unfortunately, the filter can not block Trump from people’s television.
Trump’s controversial presidential campaign has spawned a whole host of Internet memes and jokes, including some that similarly target the web-browsing experience in relation to the real estate mogul.
“However, we hope that enough installs will be a strong signal to the worldwide media that America is ready to move on from this inveterate jack-s”, Spectre wrote on the website. As the name suggests, this is a filter created to block all stories that might be related to Trump so that you won’t come across it during your surfing sessions. He said, “I don’t think I need to spend anything. I think this Chrome extension is a kind of metaphor for their desire because he is bringing things into politics that people don’t want to talk about and don’t want to deal with”, Spencer reportedly said.
