The last time Trump won, there was this constant barrage of scandals and frankly horrifying news permeating my online experience. And while I admit that from my European perspective, there was some entertainment in the whole thing, the experience was more exhausting than anything else.

I like to keep up with the news, but I also like my mental health. Are there any effective strategies for keeping the amount of trump-spam I’m exposed to at an absolute minimum, while also keeping up with whatever else is going on in the world?

    I’ve used the Spoiler Protection 2.0 extension in the past, though it hasn’t been updated in a long time so there may be a better option.

    It doesn’t block content but places a big red overlay over links, headlines, images (that are tagged) and videos. It’s not fool proof but definitely useful if you want to block “Trump” or “Musk” or whatever else.
