Bernie Filter

A Chrome extension that removes Bernie Sanders from the Internet.

Overview

This is a fork of Rob Spectre's excellent Trump Filter project.

I am a Sanderista. I make no apologies for that. But some of my friends in other camps have grown tired of the occasionally-overenthusiastic online activity of Bernie's supporters. They'd like a break from that, and I offer them this modified extension in exchange for their vote in the general when Bernie is the Democratic nominee :)

Note: for some reason Bernie's homepage is impervious to filtering this way. Maybe avoid that one unless you've caved and want to donate.

Features

  • Detects instances of Bernie Sanders on web pages, warning users.
  • Attempts to identify semantically sections of the page likely to contain Bernie references and removes them from the page.
  • Sensitivity settings to customize the aggressiveness of the filter - remove single references, chunks or the entire page.

Installation (for Users)

  1. Download the package
  2. Extract it somewhere in your file system (remember where)
  3. Open the Google Chrome settings and go to "More tools" --> "Extensions"
  4. Check the "Developer mode" box
  5. Click "Load unpacked extension"
  6. Select the folder you extracted in step 2 above
  7. Enjoy a (largely) Bernie-free browsing experience.

Installation (for Developers)
