Description

Or at least gives you a peaceful moment to reflect before embarking on an emotional roller coaster.

Angry Blocker is deep learning's answer to propaganda. In this post-truth modern world with endless alternative facts it's very easy to get over emotional, form false judgements, and lose control of our decisions. When we allow emotions to blindly force us to do something we become vulnerable to propaganda. In 2016, both ends of the political spectrum used emotionally charged headlines to influence public opinion on Brexit and Donald Trump. Such news is dangerous when it leads us to make choices we wouldn't have made in our normal emotional state.

Therefore Angry Blocker protects you from negative emotions and helps you to be aware of the type of information you consume online. When you visit selected media websites, Angry Blocker's proprietary deep neural network estimates the emotional content of the page which you are about to read and warns you about very sad and angry pages. Instead of the angry content, you will see a nice picture from nature and a message like "This page is too angry for you" with links to "Go back", "See it anyway" or view some better news on our website. Then it's up to you to decide whether to read those pages or not.

We hope that Angry Blocker will improve your mood, and go some small way to improving the internet and maybe even the world.

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
