Sick of ‘Zuma’? There is an extension for that

South Africa’s president has been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons.

With the Constitution Court less than favourable ruling on Nkandla and his alleged involvement with the controversial Gupta family, Jacob Zuma is the topic of a lot of online discussion.

With that in mind, there may be some readers out there who are sick of Zuma as a topic and to that end, two South African web developers have created a Google Chrome extension that completely removed the word ‘Zuma’ from any website.

The extension is called ‘Fallen Zuma’.

“Finally, state-of-the-art technology has revealed a method to remove President Zuma (from the internet). Add our Chrome extension for guaranteed Zuma-free browsing, and live in world where Zuma has already fallen,” creators Mitch Said and Simon Shear explain on the website.

Once the extension has been loaded into Chrome, the word ‘Zuma’ will no longer be visible, and filled with a blank space.

Over the years many web developers have taken it upon themselves to rid the internet of unwanted content, and a host of extensions have popped up to block all sorts of things.

The creators of KardBlock, the one which removes images of the Kardasians, has promised to work on one filtering out Justin Bieber, and for those in the UK, you can replace images of Tony Abbot with those of kittens. There is even one that removes baby pictures from your Facebook time line, and replaces it with, you guessed it, kittens.

Now, if we can only work on an extension that blocks out ‘Gupta’, that would be fantastic.
