MyBB Super Filter

It's not really that though for me. We're human beings, everyone is free to say stupid things as we all do from time to time, but why should what I say be recorded perpetually? That's not how life should work. There's enough crap on the internet. If I say something it's usually for that moment, a day or two later, if you missed it, you missed it. No biggie.

Yeah, 15 years on, someone might have figured out who you are and dug up an old post. Boom. Cancelled.

I’ve been messing around with the extension code a bit, with some help from AI, and managed to get a Firefox-compatible version up and running.
While I was digging into it, I figured I might as well clean things up a bit and added a few extra filters for the stuff that usually clutters the feed. I’ve already submitted it to Mozilla for signing and approval, so I’ll share the official link once it’s through review.
On top of the original tool, I added a few things that make it feel a bit smarter in day-to-day use. There’s now a “social mute” option, which doesn’t fully block someone but hides their posts if they’re just dumping a YouTube or Twitter link with zero context. You can also control how strict that is with a dropdown, so you decide how much actual input someone needs before their post shows up again.
I also added a bot filter that wipes out posts packed with external links, mainly to deal with those SEO spam walls. The logic behind the filtering is a bit cleaner now too, it ignores text inside preview boxes so people can’t get around it by pasting titles into embeds.
I’ll let you know as soon as it’s live and ready to try.

This Firefox extension is now available here : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/mybroadband-ultra-filter/
 
This has been working well, thanks!

Would love a way to be able to hide threads started by specific users in the new posts list, but not hide all their replies in other threads. Mainly want to curb the Fiesta spam (maybe that should just be a dedicated setting :laugh: )

I got a small extension for Chrome/Brave/etc made for the power users on MyBroadband.

Features:
  • Block Threads: Hide specific discussions from the main list and "New Posts."
  • Block Sections: Wipe entire sub-forums (e.g., "Off-Topic") from your homepage and activity feeds.
  • Block Users: Completely vanish threads started by specific users, AND hide their posts inside other threads. Also blocks threads if the blocked user is the last poster
  • Lightweight: Runs locally in your browser with no tracking or external ads.
  • Real-Time: Content disappears instantly; no page refresh required.
You can install the plugin here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/mybb-super-filter-toolkit/nbdphnnjbhpdjofgjagmdheheokopghk

Includes useful features like a global on/off button, import/export function and a little hit counter to show you how many things the extension has blocked on a page.

Please give it a try to see if it fits your needs, and if you find any bugs or want more features, please let me know and I will see what I can do to get it coded in.

There are already some members who have access to this plugin and have been testing it, so all bugs should be ironed out., however your input is most valuable.

Does it only work on the Forum?
If it could block "articles" about driver's licences, DStv, Please Call Me, the SAPO, etc. or headlines containing "good news" or "bad news" it would be amazing!
