Discontent: Open Source Extension to Fight Garbage Content on the Web
Discontent is a free and open-source extension available for the Chrome browser. Developed by tombarone, this extension aims to combat the rising tide of AI-generated, SEO-optimized nonsense that threatens to bury quality content on the web. With Discontent, users can easily identify websites with low-quality content and take action.
One of the key features of Discontent is its ability to prepend search engine links with a symbol if a website in the database has a bad score. This allows users to quickly identify and avoid websites that may not provide reliable or valuable information. On the other hand, if a website has mixed reviews, indicating both positive and negative votes, Discontent displays a symbol to alert users to exercise caution.
However, Discontent also aims to highlight and promote websites that offer exceptional content. When users come across a website that they find valuable and deserving of recognition, they can use the extension's popup to vote and share their love with a symbol. This helps create a community-driven approach to identifying and supporting quality content on the web.
Discontent works seamlessly with popular search engines like Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo, making it a versatile tool for users across different platforms. If you're tired of sifting through garbage content and want to discover quality websites, Discontent is a valuable extension to have.
