I’m wondering how hard it would be to write a firefox extension that blocked individual Lemmy posts based on the presence of words in a block list.
I’m pretty famiiar with Python, but have only done a little bit of hacking of JS, so was hoping the brains trust could provide some insight.
TamperMonkey is closed source. I’d recommend ViolentMonkey instead, since it’s open source and is practically identical to the other *Monkey extensions.
edit: To add, the developer of TamperMonkey has also shown themselves to be not worthy of trust; see Wikipedia under Controversy.
Did you actually read the “controversy” section?
A malicious adware media player - not related to Tampermonkey - installed Tampermonkey on your device to do bad stuff. And they could have done the same with any other userscript extension, like the suggested Violentmonkey. The wiki section even states:
It’s fine to advocate and promote open source software, but why do that with lies and slander?
