Explore page category cleaner

Why this would be helpful

Short answer: "I'm in the music tab, but none of this is music!" Long answer: The Scratch Explore page's sections are often filled with generic platformers and animations. This is because creators often spam every possible category tag in their descriptions, not knowing Scratch often limits this amount to 15 tags or so.

How this addon works

Similar to what's in ScratchTools, use a simple algorithm that detects keywords like "platformer" and hides them from non-game sections of the explore page.

Do you actually get to see music in the Music category after running those filters?

Unsure. There is obviously at least a few projects that use the #music tag legitimately. This issue extends to every other category though.
