I bet having this plugin installed will make it very difficult to review pull requests for this plugin.

LOL -- why challenge someone's ideas, let's just remove all traces of them so we don't have to see it. That's the liberal point of view. All opinions are valid, unless they disagree with them.

Hiding opinions of people you don't agree with is not a trait of the "left." It is a human trait. You make a lot of assumptions that this one specific developer is liberal vs. say a conservative who doesn't like Trump.

Example: You don't like Trump according to your subcomment, does that automatically make you a liberal?

I viewed it more as a humorous social commentary rather than a real tool.

A conservative would likely find a Hilary filter equally humorous and conducive to their viewpoints, but wouldn't actually install and use it.

Donald Trump is not a conservative. He's a populist.

I'd actually rather see all the crazy shit she says and does. But I won't be offended and want to wipe it away from my mind or consider letting it affect my thinking.

BTW, I'm not a trump fan. But I am a fan of information, and this seems very questionable but apropos given recent happenings on college campuses (not wanting to hear opposing views).

Great if you live a liberal bubble and want to remove the reality that Donald Trump can likely be the next president of the United States. But, where I live, he has lots of fans including the law firm with a 10' x 6' Trump Make America Great sign hung between two trees on its lawn. He actually has some good ideas for example when he said the $2 trillion spent in Iraq could have instead been spent to solve domestic problems. We know he isn't a conservative now.

Do any of the adblockers have a plugin API? That would be more useful than multille plugins targeting different people.

The link to the extension in the Chrome Store appears to be a Jeter filter, not a Trump filter.

Next they're gonna want to put trigger warnings on the Internet.

love it
