This is a neat concept! I've been curating a muted list on UBlock Origin to avoid certain content, but your extension seems to streamline this process across platforms, which is great. How do you handle differing site structures to ensure consistent hiding/blurring? Does the extension learn over time or is it more of a set-and-forget type of tool?

Thanks! For the social media sites, I made custom parsers to read "posts" (or the equivalent) in particular. Otherwise you have the option of just scanning almost every element on the page, which works surprisingly well but is likely not efficient. The parsing rules don't adapt unless an update is pushed, and it only mutes the words/phrases you set it to.
