I still see a lot of crap though, I guess it's hard to keep up with the huge slop wave

in reply to coyotino [he/him] • • •tegabrain.com/Slop-Evader , the linked source code on Firefox extension page seems to no longer exist: github.com/tegacodes/slop-evad…
So it literally cuts off everything after that date. Why the need for an extension in the browser? One can add max date to any search engine search terms and limit the results too. At least this works with Google, in example
before:2022-11-30. This could be a bookmark in example: google.com/search?q=before%3A2… Note I do not use Google myself. You have to try this with your favorite search engine yourself.While I think the idea is good to search everything before, I am not certain we need a closed source extension for if we could just add a search term to it manually. And this does not really solve searching the web with content after that date. Still need a better solution to this, especially if time goes on.

in reply to thingsiplay • • •Because it's not an extension or a tech tool. It's an art project, in the form of an extension. The purpose is not the tool, but the message.
