A few suggestions and issues: I can't figure out how to add my own keywords. All I can do is choose from the predefined lists like "popular" etc. The scroll bar is very faint, almost to the point where I didn't realize I could scroll and thought the UI had broken when the "replace content" box was pushed off screen by kill list selections. On Facebook, when you replace content I see the rather logo and an "undo" butt…

1. type in the large box what you want to block. The box says, "What do you want to block?"

2. We're rolling out that feature soon.

I'd like to see something that makes people more comfortable with the idea of unfriending folks that overpost annoying things, rather than covering up and hiding content over and over. That said, the technology behind this looks like it could have a lot of practical uses. I especially like the example with TV show spoilers.

I have a pretty unusual spoiler avoidance routine for which this would be great. I live outside the US and have an account for NFL Gamepass and love football. There's essentially no spoilers here at all which is great but my US bound friends on Facebook tend to spoil stuff.

I typically watch the early games on Redzone live and then all the late games on Monday (as 30 Minute cuts) and the SNF+MNF game on Tuesday (+Thursday game on Friday)..basically I avoid FB on Mondays (and sometimes Tuesdays)

Thanks for number 1. I read that box several times over and just assumed it was a header. I never saw the cursor blinking until you told me I could type there.

What is the eventual revenue model for this? It seems this is going to take quite a bit of computing to remain a free chrome extension for too long.

targeted advertising and selling annonymized data are two ways that make sense

I can see selling replacements.

Like you don't want to see the Red Sox, maybe the yankees pay to replace all things red socks.

That would completely defeat the purpose of the extension.
