That's actually pretty cool, it could allow for an extension to locally hide certain types of content without using a full on blocklist. It could detect homophobic sentences and block that content for example. Or a more intelligent ad blocker that blocks sponsor messages and links. Could be used to detect SEO garbage websites from common patterns and hide them from search results. I see many useful use cases for this
