       Show HN: I Created a Chrome Extension for PG: TRAB (Tweet Reporter
       and Blocker)
        
       A few days ago I saw this tweet from PG:
       https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1496549841912094733 ...and guessed
       it shouldn't be too hard to make a chrome extension to do this (I
       had never made a chrome extension before)  So I took a stab at it -
       took me a bit over a day to make it, and it was fun to put
       together.  I responded to his tweet with the link to the extension
       but I'm not sure if he would've seen it.  edit: Looks like I missed
       the approval notification for the listing of this extension on the
       chrome store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/trab-tweet-
       reporte...

         | When you report a tweet today, twitter only allows to report

         | I'm not sure what category would apply to 'manipulated
         | accounts' and how you would establish that. Objectively false
         | information could probably be reported as 'misleading' I
         | suppose? I'd be open to facilitating that if there's
         | significant interest - might need to add a new button for that
         | category.
