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.

    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:

    This does not mean that Tampermonkey is malicious, but rather that a malicious program is utilizing a legitimate program for bad behavior

    It’s fine to advocate and promote open source software, but why do that with lies and slander?
