Even his supporters might find this Chrome extension that filters Donald Trump out of the internet very useful.
It’s called Trump Filter, and, blessedly, it does what it says.
“In a political atmosphere where ascendance can be manufactured through attention, the only way to deflate Trump’s political star is through suffocation,” the site says. “Trump can only lose if we turn off the TV. Thus, the Trump Filter is presented as part of the antidote for this toxic candidacy. This Chrome extension will identify parts of a web page likely to contain Donald Trump and erase them from the Internet.”
Trump Filter is the work of Rob Spectre, a “punk rock technologist” based in Brooklyn. Spectre runs the street art blog Brooklyn Vandal and plays in a band called Adventure Capitalists (which has seriously the best website). A fan of Boston sports, a previous project was Chrome extension called Jeter Filter, which, you guessed it.
