What it solves

Bouncer addresses the problem of "feed fatigue" on Twitter/X by allowing users to automatically hide content they find undesirable, such as engagement bait, rage-inducing politics, or specific topics like crypto, using natural language definitions rather than rigid keyword matching.

How it works

The extension uses a MutationObserver to monitor your Twitter feed in real-time. When a new post appears, the extension extracts the text, images, and metadata. It then sends this data to an AI model—either running locally on your device or via a cloud API—to classify the content against your custom filter topics. If a post matches your criteria, Bouncer hides it with a fade-out animation and provides a reason for the removal.

Who it’s for

This tool is for social media users who want a more curated, less distracting experience on Twitter/X and prefer to use AI-driven semantic filtering over traditional, manual keyword blocking.

Highlights

• Semantic Filtering: Define filters using natural language instead of exact strings.
• Multimodal Analysis: Uses AI to classify posts based on both text and images.
• Privacy-Focused: Supports on-device inference to keep your data local.
• Flexible Backends: Compatible with local GPU models or cloud APIs like OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, and OpenRouter.
• Review Capability: Allows you to view hidden posts and the reasoning behind their classification.
