I am working on a browser extension called Toxnic that can block out trolling content on Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube. I have been wanting to develop this for quite some time in order to have a troll-free browsing experience when using social media. The extension uses deep learning to filter content that is considered extremely toxic or insulting. The model was trained on a standard toxic content data set by Google (Jigsaw). https://faizanahmad.tech/toxnic/

The extension code has also been made open source.
