Many lefties have decided that the solution to Trump's win is to climb even deeper into their bubble. Meanwhile the media has been angrily denouncing what it calls "fake news", which is any news that it disagrees with. So it quickly rushed over to praise a plug-in from left-wing anti-Israel activist Daniel Sieradski. There's just one tiny little problem.
The plug-in, however, has bugs, causing some users’ browsers to crash.
In exchange for having their sites censored, users get to enjoy crashes and a slow browser. But isn't crippling their ability to browse the internet the best way to avoid dissenting opinions?
Here are some review of B.S. Detector, the plugin.
Can't see the extension listed... .... and performance of Chrome has got very ereatic since installing BS Detetcor
Icon is disabled... And it does not work. Ever....
Scrolling through webpages is really slow after installing this... I've noticed a lot of lag when scrolling websites while this extension is enabled.
Does flag bs news links but the performance hit is rough. I ran it with the extension flatbook and without it was sluggish both ways.
This extension crashed my google docs app and made it impossible to access documents I needed. I spent all day trying to figure out the problem and I later found out it was this extension after tedious work.
Great idea, but it slows my browser down terribly. Extension is updated, no improvement. Makes Facebook and Google Drive especially unusable.
Slowed down Chrome significantly. I had to go through my extensions, disabling each one individually, until I found the culprit. Made /everything/ extremely slow. Updating the extension did not help.
Well Comrade, if you want to enjoy Soviet level political correctness, you must also accept Soviet era performance.
Haters gonna hate. Some of them even on FR (not aspersions to YOU... but there are others).
Awe the poor little cry babies can’t handle anything that doesn’t agree with them .
And yet Donald is growing on others, and he hasn’t “objectively” done a lot besides pick some more or less controversial figures and send out some tweets.
Donald reminds us afresh that yes, there is a God, and God cares.
What are you afraid of liberals? That your entire world-view will collapse under the weight of too many facts and much reality?
Given that attitude, wouldn't 'unsanctioned news' be a better word choice?
Too much of a negative connotation?
The free speech crowd censors themselves? Is this true or a plot for a sitcom?
A proper "dog-whistle interpretation engine", if modeled on the wide variety of seemingly innocuous phrases that leftists allege to be secret codes, would need to approach the complexity of NSA's data-mining algorithms.
Yes, I believe that’s it.
The Blaze with all its popups used to crash on its own.
What righties usually do is just skip such stuff.
Skins too impossibly thin?
I wasn’t able to get Conservative Treehouse this morning when I clicked on a link to it. Can’t remember the message I got, but was something I’d never seen before.
More evidence that God has a sense of humor!
Dump them into their safe space - a software sandbox!!
Newsmax.com is now almost unusable, for me at least. Pop ups everywhere and bogs down my relatively high performance laptop pretty badly.
Leftists too dumb to NOT go to sites they don’t like.
funny how I don’t need a plug in to tell me to stay away from Salon or DU-Land...
[[Dump them into their safe space - a software sandbox!!]]
To heck with the safe space.
The dropzone needs to be the middle east sandbox.
Hey if they don’t turn conservative real quick we can always turn the whole place into glass , them included. ;)
My motto is “Nuke ‘em ‘till they glow, then shoot ‘em in the dark!” :-)
I like the way you think :)
