I've been thinking about building a browser extension that turns clickbait headlines into factual titles.

"Why is SendGrid emailing me about supporting ICE?" becomes "Phishing Campaign Targets SendGrid Users via Compromised Accounts and Politically Charged Bait"

I think it would be more time than I'd like to commit though.

I tried to vibe code it about a year ago(a firefox extension), worked surprisingly good. Basically for a small set of web sites I frequent, just rewrite titles or remove links all together if a title is a click-bait or ragebait.
