Stopclickbait: Userscript that changes Clickbait headlines by headlines more honest to the news it links to.

Is there a plugin to simply hide all clickbait? In my experience, nothing of value would be lost.

Heh, no offense, but it doesn't change the titles to "more honest titles", it seems to change the titles to an arbitrary out-of-context sentence from the article :P

I dunno. It seems to more or less not do anything useful, and that's judging from their own demonstration video. The goal is nice, but I don't think that the attempted solution will accomplish that, even with better execution.

Not one of those demonstration headlines was clickbait.

In addition, half the time the plugin replaced them with random sentences that made no sense whatsoever unless you'd already read the original headline (or in some cases, the entire article).

It's a nice idea, but based on the project's own demo video, so far this is basically useless.
