Whether it is high-profile galas or the business world, it is hard to escape the Kardashians. If social media is any indication, the Kardashians and Jenners have an undeniable presence, with everything from their brands like SKIMS and Lemme to their everyday updates flooding our feeds. While some people cannot get enough of them, others are far less enthusiastic, and one even wanted to block all Kardashian-related content altogether.

Surprisingly, a British man came up with the idea and even once attempted to create an extension to block anything related to the Kardashians. So, where is that app now?

Back in 2015, app developer James Shamsi created KardBlock, which is a browser tool designed to remove all Kardashian-related content from websites and social media feeds. According to the browser extension’s website, KardBlock filtered out anything linked to the famous family, including feuds, fashion updates, and viral headlines.

This was to help the users focus on more urgent news stories. The developer had also reportedly planned to add another feature that would block content related to Justin Bieber, as per Allure. This odd app sparked mixed reactions online, with some praising the idea while others found it extreme.

Over time, the tool faded from the internet, and little information is now available about its current status. In contrast to this opinion, there are several who cannot miss an update on the Kardashians. One such as Elle Fanning.
