I don't think that just incorporating my extension into stacker news is the best idea overall, it was just my immediate reaction to realizing how much censorship was ongoing.
I just want to see the whole topic discussed - the fact that it's trivial for someone with a lot of sats to completely bury posts on a topic that they don't want discussed. Any topic, not just anti Iran War, anti Zionist posts, but absolutely anything.
The default for 99% of users is for this censorship to be invisible, and I believe something needs to change.
Regarding the safety of the browser extension - I think browser extensions are safer than almost any other software, because you can actually read the code (this is not an extension that's packaged on the google webstore, you put it in manually).
You don't even need to understand javascript very well, it's mostly understandable on it's own. If you look in the manifest file, you'll see that it ONLY matches stacker.news, so that's the only one it can act on. And there's no special permissions requested (cookies, downloads, etc).
I've pinged him on a couple comments.
