Show HN: X-Terminate, a Chrome extension to remove politics from your X feed
Hi HN, I made a chrome extension that removes all politics from Twitter. The source code and installation instructions are here: https://github.com/wafer-inc/x-terminate
A description of how it works technically is here: https://chadnauseam.com/coding/random/x-terminate. Indeed, I mostly made the extension as a demo for the underlying tech: Rust libraries for data labelling and decision tree inference.
All libraries involved are open-source, and there are instructions for how can make your own filter (e.g. if you want to remove all Twitter posts involving Rust or AI).

Show HN: Run Performant Google Ads Without Experience
During my last startup, I hated working with marketing agencies who I thought were overwhelmingly grifters/low-quality.
That's why I started Multiply, to allow businesses to run high quality Google Ads without having to work with an agency.
The tool is comprehensive - offering AI ad creation, keyword identification, algorithmic budget optimization, and continuous A/B testing.
All of our early customers are seeing 5x+ ROI on their ad spend (ROAS).
We are testing our pricing - for now we are offering the first month for $10, and 10% of ad spend thereafter.

Ask HN: Was Mozilla Ever Independent?
https://www.theverge.com/news/660548/firefox-google-search-revenue-share-doj-antitrust-remedies
This is based on the revelation that Firefox (and I'm assuming Mozilla itself) relies on at least 85-90% of its operating revenue from Google's search deals. For decades now, Mozilla insisted and promoted that it was a non-profit independent organization, and that extended to Firefox. That 85-90% revenue figure is now calling 15-20 years of those statements into question for me.
So let's discuss this: Was Mozilla actually ever as independent as they've claimed? Or were they just a tax dodge for Google?
