• A Chrome extension called “Microsoft to Microslop” that renames Microsoft references in browsers as a protest against the company’s aggressive AI integration.
  • The extension reflects widespread user frustration with Microsoft’s Copilot AI, which faces extremely low adoption rates and growing privacy concerns among Windows users.
  • Many users actively seek ways to remove AI features from Windows, highlighting significant backlash against Microsoft’s AI strategy despite CEO dismissals of complaints.

    You can do this in uBlock Origin without having to install another add-on by adding the following to My filters and enabling Allow custom filters requiring trust

    *##+js(rpnt, #Text, "Microsoft", "Microslop")
    *##+js(rpnt, #Text, "microsoft", "microslop")
    *##+js(rpnt, #Text, "MICROSOFT", "MICROSLOP")
    

    This will probably break some things but I’m not sure I care enough to figure out what. Enjoy.

      Ublock really seems to be much more powerful than we think. I feel like it alone could replace almost every extension we have. Wish there were some friendly guides for it
