Block World Cup & TV spoilers on X, Reddit and YouTube

Add your keywords — a team, a show, an event — and every matching post, comment, and video on X, Reddit & YouTube is blurred until YOU click Reveal. Built for speed (scans only new content, in idle time) and privacy (keywords never leave your browser). Free up to 10 keywords; Premium is $4.99 once.
Could you add a per-site toggle so I can keep spoilers blurred on Reddit but still see YouTube thumbnails? Also a quick "tap to reveal for 30 seconds" option would be great when I just want a peek without fully committing.
@leventerdapyuc Both are solid, and honestly neither exists right now — it's one keyword list applied the same way across all three sites, no way to say "blur here, not there" yet. The per-site toggle makes a lot of sense too, spoiler tolerance genuinely differs by site (a Reddit thread you're deep in vs. a YouTube thumbnail you're just scrolling past are pretty different situations).
The 30-second peek is a clever middle ground I hadn't thought of — right now Reveal is all-or-nothing per item, no timed re-blur. That one's probably the smaller build of the two.
Really appreciate you thinking this through, noted both down.
A few questions I expect, answered up front:
Q: Will it slow down my feed?
A: No — that fear is why this exists. It never re-scans the page; it watches only newly added content and does the matching when the browser is idle. If you ever measure a slowdown, I want to hear about it.
Q: What exactly can it see / send?
A: It reads post text locally to decide what to blur. Nothing about your browsing ever leaves the machine — keywords are stored in Chrome's own sync storage, and the extension works fully offline. The single allowed network call is Premium license validation with Polar (our payment provider).
Q: Why not 100% free?
A: Solo developer, no VC, no ads, no data selling — the $4.99 one-time Premium is the whole business model. Free tier (10 keywords) stays free forever, and there's a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Q: Does it catch images with no text?
A: Matching runs on the text platforms attach to content — titles, captions, comments, channel names. A bare screenshot with no matching text can slip through; the upcoming keyword packs help by covering the names people actually use around an event.
Q: Mobile?
A: Desktop Chrome today. The native X/Reddit/YouTube apps are closed to extensions, so the realistic paths are Firefox for Android and iOS Safari extensions — both under consideration right after the Firefox port.
Q: Other browsers?
A: Firefox and Edge are next on the roadmap (same codebase, small porting work).
Set this up with a few show names and it actually works exactly as described, blurring posts in my feed until I tap reveal. The fact that nothing leaves the browser makes it feel way less sketchy than most "AI" tools.
@ezgiimq3 Really glad it just... worked, honestly that's the best kind of feedback. And yeah, the "nothing leaves the browser" thing was a deliberate choice, not just a privacy line for the listing — it's literally just keyword matching against text that's already on your screen, no API calls, no server. Felt important to me too, especially compared to a lot of "AI-powered" tools that quietly ship your data somewhere to do the same job a simple string match could do.
Curious, are you using it mainly on X, or did you try it on Reddit/YouTube too? Trying to get a feel for which site people lean on most.
