With social driving more Internet usage, it is understandable that a large number of people are a looking at a news feed at any given time. It could be in the morning when you want to catch up on stuff before you begin work, it could be during your lunch break and even when you retire for the night. Now, the problem seems to be that there are many things that you cannot control about this news feed. You cannot control people posting lame stuff (according to you) on your feed. It could be one of your friends playing some mindless game and populating your news feed with inane score updates. There numerous such irritating things, especially on Facebook which doesn’t do a really good job of showing you the content that you want.

Rather is a new tool which promises to calm you down by hiding all the content you think is irritating. It comes as a simple Chrome extension which you can install and use for free. The premise of Rather is ‘rather’ simple. You choose the stuff that you don’t like and also what you would want it replaced with. When Rather takes you input, it matches the keywords of your criteria and removes the content and replaces it with what you want. The replacement content can come from Instagram hashtags and RSS feeds that you define. Rather blocks content from across social networks like Facebook and Twitter. The extension even has an option to mute the particular keywords you define, instead of just replacing them. We think, the muting is a damn good thing. There are numerous occasions when the social media world can go mad and start doing things in a herd, thus irritating many users. A simple muting would really be beneficial in such situations.

Rather has been built in New York by Chris Baker, Pete Marquis and Yvonne Cheng. The service is currently available only on Chrome. The company has said that Firefox, Safari and Mobile are coming soon. The company claims that around 2,00,000 users have already started using the extension to block unwanted stuff.

We believe this is a great tool to block the unwanted noise of social media. You should try it out!
