Browse the Ban: A Powerful Protest Against the Immigration Ban

Browse the Ban is an art piece created to protest the Trump administration's recent ban on immigrants from seven predominantly-Muslim countries. This powerful Chrome extension aims to challenge the sweeping generalizations made about entire populations and highlight the underlying humanity of those affected by the ban.

The extension strikes out the names of every country banned, as well as common names of people from those countries, to make the impact of the executive order more tangible. By striking out the names of individuals in addition to the countries, Browse the Ban emphasizes the absurdity of such a broad ban and reminds us that it is fundamentally about barring individuals in search of a better life.

Hovering over a struck-out word triggers the extension to replace it with "Stop the #MuslimBan," redirecting the user's attention to a call for protest and action. This serves as a constant reminder of the tragic impact that the immigration ban has on real people's lives.

Browse the Ban is a free Chrome extension that aims to raise awareness and foster empathy towards those affected by the immigration ban. It is a powerful tool that encourages users to critically examine the consequences of such policies and join the fight against discrimination and injustice.
