Show HN: 'Elon's X page without politics': LLM-based content filtering in Chrome (chromewebstore.google.com)
2 points by jac08h 1 day ago | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
Hi!

As a side-project this summer (partly to have an excuse to try out Claude Code ;D), I built a Chrome extension that hides content that doesn't match user preferences. Example usage: https://youtu.be/japjNSU3O7A

The content + preferences are sent to an LLM, which decides if the content is relevant. You can use your own OpenRouter API key, but there's also a 'free tier' which uses my key (there's a daily quota with this option, though).

The extension now also supports including images and video thumbnails in the filtering, although this is only available when using your own OpenRouter key. The code is available at: https://github.com/jac08h/great_filter

Feedback is appreciated!





Interesting extension, have been thinking about building something similar for ages.

Shame that none of the built-in AI Chrome started to ship works for this: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/built-in


Yeah, I really expected something like this to already exist, but I couldn't find anything similar when I started working on it.

Could this be extended to be an ad blocker?

Possibly, but I didn't want to expand the scope of the extension, as there already exist ad blockers, and they can be used alongside this one.
