Private, reversible filtering for engagement-bait and formulaic low-value patterns. # SlopBlocker: Less Slop. Better Scrolling. **Your feed deserves better.** Tired of recycled motivational posts, engagement bait, repetitive advice, and content that says a whole lot of nothing? Meet **SlopBlocker**, the browser extension designed to help you cut through the noise and take back control of your feed. SlopBlocker identifies potentially low-quality, formulaic, and engagement-driven content across supported websites, helping you spend less time scrolling through fluff and more time seeing what actually matters. No complicated setup. No subscriptions. No AI services analyzing your browsing activity. Just a cleaner, more intentional browsing experience. ## What SlopBlocker Does **Smart Content Filtering** SlopBlocker uses local, rule-based detection to identify common patterns associated with repetitive, formulaic, and engagement-bait content. **Works Across Your Favourite Platforms** Filter supported content on: - LinkedIn - X (formerly Twitter) - Reddit - YouTube On YouTube, SlopBlocker evaluates available video titles and text snippets, not the actual video or audio. **Your Feed, Your Rules** Choose how aggressively SlopBlocker filters content: - Light: A gentler approach that targets stronger signals. - Balanced: A middle ground between filtering and preserving content. - Aggressive: More sensitive detection for users who want stricter filtering. **Four Ways to Handle Unwanted Content** - Collapse: Minimise matching posts. - Hide: Remove matching content from your feed's visible layout. - Blur: Obscure content until you choose to reveal it. - Label: Flag potentially low-value content without hiding it. All filtering actions are reversible. **Trust What You Like** Not everything that looks formulaic is unwanted. SlopBlocker lets you create exceptions for individual posts, trusted creators, and websites so you stay in control of your experience. **See What SlopBlocker Is Doing** Review filtering activity, check scanning diagnostics, and manually scan supported pages. You can also pause filtering or reveal hidden content whenever you want. **Optional Article Scanning** Want to check an article? SlopBlocker supports manually initiated scanning of eligible article pages. ## Privacy Isn't an Afterthought SlopBlocker is designed to process content directly within your browser. - No account required. - No cloud-based AI classification. - No post-text uploads. - No third-party analytics or tracking. - No selling your browsing data. Your preferences, trusted-content rules, content exceptions, and activity statistics are stored locally in your browser. ## Is SlopBlocker an AI Detector? Not exactly, and that's intentional. SlopBlocker identifies patterns commonly associated with low-value content, including some forms of AI-generated writing. However, it cannot reliably determine whether a human or an AI wrote a particular post. It uses transparent, rule-based signals rather than claiming to identify AI authorship with certainty. Detection isn't perfect. Some posts may be missed or incorrectly flagged. You can always adjust the sensitivity, reveal content, or create exceptions. ## Less Noise. More Signal. Better Scrolling. You don't have to abandon your favourite platforms to make your feeds more enjoyable. **Install SlopBlocker and take control of what you scroll through.** SlopBlocker is developed by **Sandbox**, an independent software product studio building practical tools for a better digital experience.
