Chrome Extension Offers Trump-Free Browsing (usnews.com)

Earthquake Retrofit writes: A new Google Chrome extension lets you remove mentions of Donald Trump from your browsing experience. Trump Filter scans websites for references to the Republican presidential candidate, showing a blank void in the place of Trump-related content. "I am doing this out of a profound sense of annoyance and patriotic duty," the extension's creator, Rob Spectre, writes on the Trump Filter website. "[I was not] put up to this by the Republican or Democratic Parties, the Obama Administration, my mother or any other possible sphere of influence." Trump Filter's code is open source and can be found on GitHub.

    do they have one for hillary and burnie as well?

    There's only so much you can expect an extension to do; it can't read your mind.

    Right... and the Liberals aren't responsible for doubling the debt in the last 7 years

    Well, the Republicans control Congress and the purse strings, so you tell me who's responsible? We had surpluses under Clinton. As soon as Bush took office, that changed quickly.

    The surplus under Clinton was because we had a Republican Congress that wasn't afraid of telling the President "No.". So tell me who's responsible for budgets.

    The current Congressional leadership is so afraid they'll be called racists by your open-minded liberals they can't piss without getting White House approval first. Add to that, today the Republican party wants most of the same things the Democrat party wants, just with a different set of voters.

    If you think I voted for Trump because of this post, you're wrong. I voted for Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party. Again.

    We had surpluses under Clinton up until the dot.com bubble burst. The government ran deficits the last three years Clinton was in office. The projections of surpluses going on forever were all based on fantasy.
