Blander | News Headline Neutralizer
Extension Actions
- Live on Store
This Chrome extension simplifies NYTimes headlines for a more neutral reading experience.
Blander makes New York Times headlines... well, more bland.
It uses Anthropic's Claude AI to rewrite headlines in real time as you browse nytimes.com. A small blue indicator appears next to each headline that has been made more bland, so you always know what's been changed.
Requirement: An Anthropic API key (get one at console.anthropic.com). The extension does not include or provide an API key. You must bring your own.
How it works:
• Install the extension.
• Open the options page and enter your Anthropic API key.
• Visit nytimes.com. Headlines are automatically rewritten.
Privacy & data handling:
• Your API key is stored locally on your device and is never shared.
• Headline text is sent to the Anthropic API for processing; no other data is collected or transmitted.
• No analytics, tracking, or third-party services.
Usage limits:
• 50 API calls per day (resets at midnight) to help manage your API costs.
• Results are cached so repeat visits don't use additional calls.

- This is such a refreshing idea. It takes sensational headlines and turns them into clear, factual statements without losing the meaning. Makes reading the news feel a lot less emotionally charged.
