I started using twitter and often tried to stay away from it for the anxiety the comments gave me. Then I thought that an extension should exist to solve this problem. This is the first time I go on twitter and my browsing experience is more pleasant, thanks Google :)

Not work on Twitter anymore? I set as "Hide Everything" but no changes.

"Sign in with Google" button and "Tune" button at the top do nothing. Would have liked to try this out, but I can't log in.

I wish to hide twitter replies if i were to hide everything. Not literally every tweet. Hopefully this improves

This worked fine before, but I've switched to Brave Browser and can't click on the login button. Is this intentional?

This is the equivalent of hiring somebody to stick their fingers in your ears and shout "LALALALALALA" in your stead.

It's been more than 2 years Google started experimenting with Perspective AI, I thought it would have some progress. Alas. I tested it on Twitter, Youtube and Reddit. No matter how I set the dial, it either hides too much or too little, but never consistently.

More importantly, however, the benefit of this extension is not clear to me, because all 5 platforms this extension supports have builtin upvoting mechanisms and 3 of them have downvoting mechanisms as well. So all this extension can do is to either ignore the net voting results altogether or come up with some extremely untransparent and inconsistent rules trying to combine the popularity vote with the toxicity score; it seems to do the former, i.e. ignore. On Reddit for example, even a reply with 5-10K upvotes and gold is hidden because it says "poopoo". But here comes the absolute show-stopper: It doesn't support multi-languages, e.g. German. What good is this extension if it categorically hides (or shows) everything it doesn't recognize?

I like the idea and hope that it actually gets finished and made good at some point, but as it literally isn't doing anything at all for me at this point (turning it all the way down to Hide It All still doesn't hide a single comment on Facebook), it's useless to me.

Excellent plugin. Very damning that the services it targets are too lazy to implement features such as these natively.

Things I hope to see as this experiment progresses:

- night / dark mode support
- ability to flag comments which should have been filtered, and why
- a hotkey + mousewheel to turn the "volume level" up and down instead of accessing the plugin from the shelf

Unfortunately, it seems to identify content as "toxic" simply due to word choice, irrelevant to its context. Specifically, I stated that I was "thankful we have fewer idiots nowadays" and despite being on Keep It Loud, it collapsed my barely offensive statement, despite the fact that it was my own tweet.

It could be great, but unfortunately, it's just too hung up on word choice and ignores context too much. And, if your goal is to collapse toxic comments, you're kinda going about it the exact opposite way that you'd need to. Contextual use of words and phrases is the issue, not the words themselves.
