OnlyLikes

A browser extension that filters out negative comments on social media platforms, using on-device sentiment analysis

Supported Browsers:
- Chrome (v139)
- Firefox (v134)

How it works:

All Social Media replies are completely blocked when the user loads a post or comment that they authored, or if user is mentioned in another comment. Each reply under the comment is selectively unblocked after it undergoes a sentiment analysis, ranking the comment from 0 (negative) to 1 (positive).

Sentiment inference is only run when it is a user submission. It does not run otherwise. The sentiment inference is run in-browser, on your device, and does not use any API calls. It only uses electricity.

Chrome:
On-device Gemini Nano, provided by the browser:

Firefox:
On-device Xenova, provided by the browser:
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/components/ml/extensions.html
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/components/ml/extensions-api-example/README.html#trial-inference-api-extension-example

The models are downloaded and cached on the user device. They require a few hundred MB of storage and will run with GPU acceleration automatically, and will default to quantized CPU inference, so it should run on a mobile device.

Why I Made This Tool

I have never, ever, once in my entire life, read a negative reply to one of my internet submissions and received some kind of value from it. No self-improvement. No deep reflection.

Quite the opposite. These comments sit in my mind and haunt me. I never forget them.

I think I'm like most people. I'm going through life, living it the way that I think is best for me. I keep my negative thoughts to myself. I don't blast them out all over the place.

Contrary to what a troll will tell you: "Oh, I'm holding you accountable blah-blah-blah", this is nothing more than bullying, and I think in most cases it is projection.

Moreover, it is apparent that the Internet economy is fueled on bullying, triggering, vitriol. OnlyLikes and on-device sentiment analysis are the first step in making the Internet a better place.

If you are a troll and you are reading this, and you feel an urge to post something mean, you are wasting your time because now I'll never see it.
