weve just explored a HN site-reskin as a quick way to validate this, and I now use it for my browsing every day. Its a pretty transparent "profile" that gets applied by an llm to rank your HN frontpage, but would be trivial to shift that to a filter.
An extension could be a powerful way to apply it without having to leave HN, but I wonder if that (and our website prototype) is a short term solution. I can imaging having an extension per news/content site, or an "alt site" for each that takes into account your preferences, but it feels clunky.
OTOH having a generic llm in browser that does this for all sites feels quite far off, so maybe the narrow solutions where you really care about it are the way to go?

I suppose an extension is the answer, classifying and customizing the user’s view accordingly with a pluggable LLM config.
