New browser app deletes Chris Brown from the internet

New app deletes Chris Brown from the internet

Lots of people don't like Chris Brown — we don't need to mention why.

If you're one of them, then you may be interested in a new app developed by Canadian music blog AUX, which effectively deletes Chris from the internet.

'Brownout' removes all browser-based mentions of the polarising singer.

"If he wants to get a tattoo on his neck that kind of looks like Rihanna, we are going to write about it. But at some point, it reaches Chris Brown idiocy saturation," producer Sam Sutherland told CBS Local.

"All we had to do is build a frame where it recognises the word and ignores it and literally erases it. You can see everything except his name and his face."

Nickelback were the previous targets of AUX's mischief, with their 'Nickelblock' plugin erasing all traces of the band.
