I got sick of seeing forum topics on here like “I built an app”, “I made a website”, “I launched a free tool”, etc. so I decided to fight fire with fire and built a browser extension to hide them.
The extension is called OzSlop and is currently listed in the Chrome Extension store (see link below). It should be in the firefox store later in the week.
It works by looking for key words in the forum title, links to github, etc. and producing a "Slop score"™. If the Slop score comes in too high then the forum is hidden and replaced with a small “OzSlop hid one topic” placeholder. You can still click on "Show" if you want to see what the forum topic actually is.
The whole thing was vibe coded with GPT-5.6-sol and it even made the icons (bet you couldn't tell).
On privacy: the filtering is deterministic and runs entirely inside the browser, it does not use an LLM, no web requests are made, no analytics are collected, no downloads of remote rules are used, no advertising. It is a plain boring extension. It also leaves deals, comments and opened forum topics alone.
To test it, make sure it hides this forum topic.
