Censei
Often times we wonder how to protect our children from the world of internet.
We want our children to be able to gain knowledge from the internet but are afraid that they might come across some explicit content.
Introducing Censei
Censei is a simple chrome extension that replaces explicit content in webpages with emojis.
No matter where your child is on the internet, Censei will censor those unwanted words for you.
Check out the project details below in order to learn how Censei works, and get started right away!
Inspiration
The internet is a valuable resource to gain knowledge and learn about new things. However, it is also a very scary place. We wanted to solve the problem of allowing children to reap the benefits of the internet while making sure they don't come across content that could hinder their growth. The solution came in the form of a simple chrome extension - Censei!
How it Works
Censei works in the background of chrome, and gathers the entire html of the webpage that the user is on. Each individual html element is sent to the backend that checks for profanity or explicit words and replaces them with emojis. The resulting censored text is sent back to the chrome extension which then replaces it on the user's screen.
Another feature of the extension is that it uses Chrome's storage to keep track of the total number of words that were censored. Therefore, the extension will continue to keep track of your total censored words even if you are on a different computer but logged in with the same google account.
