I'm guessing this will never run on Chrome, especially after manifest v3?

#12I don't get why these filters are needed. I was relatively early to the internet compared to most people (I'm 33 but I grew up on the internet since around the age of 7) yet I grew up perfectly fine without needing to be blocked from adult content. A kid seeing a sex scene in something they stumble upon is not going to scar them for life... Additionally I was never forced to use a piece of school equipment that had filtering. The most I experienced filtering was when I, on the rare case, happened to use the computers at the library instead of the ones at home and laughed at/was annoyed by the silly filtering.
Much worse than adult content is addictive content that forms obsessive behaviors (things like Tiktok or more lightly social media in general).
The other thing to be wary about is when it's possible for a child to give their private information away to someone in a way that can harm themselves. i.e. make sure cameras are non-functional on any child's device. That wasn't an issue when I was a kid but is very much a danger today.

#13Does it have an option to filter both ways? Do not show NSFW vs. show only NSFW? The latter would probably be use a lot more.

nice as in, sure, photos were marked and it did a good job....

Your guess is correct.
By killing the filtering possibility, Chrome made itself a weaker browser from the NSFW-prevention standpoint as well.

Porn addicts might need filters like these.

Shame on people who would even fathom forbidding access to certain content on the devices that they likely pay for, internet that they pay for, homes that they pay for, and to children who they raise. Shame.

“I don’t need it so no one needs it” is the summary of your post. Not a very constructive statement, and you’re not asking a question either, because if you actually wanted to know you would’ve looked it up, or if you’re so in tune with the needs of others, you’d already know. So what sort of conversation are you aiming to have?

Exactly. Child abuse is never okay, especially if the perpetrators think they have a legitimate rationalization for it.

#20I can't help but find the whole NSFW filtering thing incredibly funny since I found out there's a "healthy" fetish community working on this problem, with Chrome extensions like "Beta Safety" or "Beta Protection"
