The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.
About CoronaBLOCK for Facebook
This project is open source and is available on Github.
https://github.com/aldi/coronablock
CoronaBLOCK gives you control over your Facebook feed by automatically hiding posts and comments that contain COVID-19 related keywords.
It runs entirely on your machine (no servers, no analytics), and works by scanning the page as you scroll.
Key Features:
Real-time filtering: Watches the feed and hides matching items as they appear.
Toggle on/off: Enable or disable from the extension popup.
Counter + badge: See how many items were hidden (popup + extension badge).
Privacy-first: Keyword matching happens locally; nothing is sent anywhere.
