Spoiler Blocker

An open-source browser extension that removes Facebook and Twitter posts that contain user-defined 'spoiler' words. For example, a post containing the words 'GoT' and 'Daenerys' may be a spoiler for Game of Thrones. If any of these words are defined as 'spoiler' words, the post will be hidden.
You can also find and submit lists at the companion website.
See this YouTube video for a demonstration.
