I use Edge and I recently dumped adblock and I’m using a hosts file ad block method which is working much better for me now. Very fast and effective! No youtube ads show at all.

I use the Hostman utility which automatically keeps my hosts file updated with the latest MVPS adblock list.

The key to this is who decides what is real news and what is fake news. It’s mind of like Communist elections, what really matters is who counts the votes.

I kinda like this idea -- provided users are free to switch to a browser that doesn't force this function.

Much to be preferred to outright censorship (which is what Obama/Hillary really want).

If it turns out to be BS, then it will become the subject of ridicule.

“Fake News” is a talking point that seems to have been created by despondent Progressives after their stunning defeat on Nov 8. Apparently the term “conspiracy theorist” no longer works as well since Hillary Clinton spent the last six months of her campaign promoting ridiculous conspiracies about Russian involvement in Wiki-leaks.

It still hasn’t dawned on these arrogant cretins that they were defeated by a majority of Americans. If Google and Facebook choose to demean and insult us we will go elsewhere. They can’t afford to operate just on revenue from half the country.

Sounds like a win-win extension. Anything that Google says is fake must therefore be true . . . and a place we want to be.

Has FreeRepublic been proclaimed fake yet?

Won’t ever work. It’s a matter of opinion. Not something a program can determine.

It looks to me that this is a relatively simple extension with some real possibilities. The code is here:

Now imagine adjusting the list of sites above to include "msnbc.com", "cnn.com", "washingtonpost.com", etc.

Change the name of it to "hoaxing media".
