You can find some browser like TOR, tho I wouldn't recommend tor. Tho, there are a lot of other ones better, short google search would show you the answers. Also, a vpn would do the trick in some cases.

i know what you mean. almost all of it is unhelpful and depressing but i don't know how you could filter out individual stuff.

the best you can do is choose to avoid the most poisonous sites, and install stuff like the below.

We are bombarded and over-exposed to certain sensationalist themes and media narratives.

It's almost impossible for anyone to come up with their own ideas/views/opinions with the kind of narrative feeding we get on a daily basis. I know 'giving up the internet' and/or not visiting certain websites could alleviate this issue some what but it led me to thinking.....

  Is there a way to self-censor the data you receive?

eg. If someone finds it counter-productive/unhelpful to hear about 'terrorism' on a daily basis, is it possible to block anything associated with this from your internet viewing without having to restrict the websites you visit?

A lot of people are becoming aware of their over-exposure to other's sensationalist ideas and may be looking for a solution/more control of their data absorption habits....


Does anyone else want a filter/ more control over your internet viewing?

Any ideas on how this can be done?
