About
The Great Filter is a Chrome extension that filters harmful and manipulative content from social media feeds in real time. It offers three filtering modes — Open, Curated, and Quiet — to remove content like outrage farming, harassment, and financial scams before users see them. The product emphasizes user privacy by evaluating and immediately discarding post content without storing browsing behavior.
Problem
Social media algorithms are optimized to keep users anxious and outraged, exposing them to harassment, scams, and emotionally manipulative content.
For
Social media users who want to reduce exposure to harmful, manipulative, or distressing content online
How it works
A Chrome extension intercepts social media feed posts and evaluates them in real time against configurable filter modes, removing harmful content before it is displayed to the user.
