About

Tired of seeing chaos and drama in the news and in your social network feeds?

The Ostrich Chrome extension lets you take control of your browsing experience by blurring headlines and social media posts that contain keywords you choose. If there’s a politician, celebrity, or topic you’d rather ignore, just add their name to your Ostrich List, and all related stories on supported sites will be blurred—keeping your sanity intact and your stress levels low.

Let’s be honest—constant exposure to political drama and celebrity scandals isn’t just annoying; it’s exhausting. The Ostrich helps you maintain your peace of mind by filtering out the chaos so you can focus on what actually matters to you.

How It Works:
✅ Choose your keywords – Add as many as you like!
✅ Blur stories and posts – Headlines, tweets, and social media posts containing your keywords disappear into obscurity.
✅ Regain your calm – No more being bombarded by news, hot takes, or outrage cycles that disrupt your day.

Free vs. Premium:
🔹 Free Version – Blurs content on one news site at a time, which you can change once per day.
🔹 Premium Version – Blurs ALL supported news and social media sites simultaneously for full browsing bliss.

Get six months of premium free with promo code "SixMonthsFree". We want your feedback!

Supports Top Social media and News websites!

Escape the noise, filter out the nonsense, and browse the internet on your terms. Download The Ostrich today and reclaim your digital peace!
