Reddit Content Filter

Reddit Content Filter is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your Reddit browsing experience by removing specific lazy-loaded sections and posts containing certain keywords. The extension automatically detects and removes content containing the keywords "BangladeshGoneSexy" and "cambd", as well as the lazy-loaded "left-nav-recent-section" elements.

Features

  • Automatic Content Removal: Instantly removes posts containing specific keywords ("BangladeshGoneSexy" and "cambd") from Reddit pages.
  • Lazy-Loaded Content Handling: Detects and removes lazy-loaded sections, preventing unwanted content from appearing even if it loads after the initial page load.
  • Real-Time Monitoring: Uses a MutationObserver to continuously monitor the page for changes and remove unwanted content as soon as it appears.
  • User-Friendly Popup: Provides a simple popup interface indicating the extension's status on the current page.

How It Works

  1. Content Script: A script (content.js) runs on all Reddit pages, scanning for specified keywords and lazy-loaded sections.
  2. MutationObserver: Monitors the DOM for changes and removes unwanted content dynamically as it loads.
  3. Background Script: Ensures the content script is executed whenever a Reddit page is fully loaded or updated.

Installation

  1. Clone or download the RedditContentFilter directory.
  2. Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/.
  3. Enable "Developer mode" by toggling the switch in the top right corner.
  4. Click "Load unpacked" and select the RedditContentFilter directory.
