About this extension
Features

Feed Sanitizer

Removes YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and Facebook Reels from your feed using community-maintained filter lists (uBlock Origin + AdGuard) that refresh automatically every 24 hours. A live counter on the toolbar icon shows how many elements have been removed on the current page.

Ad Blocker

Scans pages for scam ad patterns fake download buttons, "you've won" pop-ups, fake virus warnings, phishing links and hides them before you can accidentally click them.

Writing Assistant

A lightweight panel that appears whenever you're typing in a text field with at least 15 words. Runs entirely locally no text is sent anywhere.

Checks: tone detection (aggressive / passive-aggressive / formal / casual / positive / urgent), passive voice, hedge words, long sentences, filler words, repeated words, and Flesch-Kincaid readability grade. Optional: connect a self-hosted LanguageTool server for full grammar and spelling suggestions.

Keyboard shortcuts: Alt+Shift+T reopens the panel. Esc closes it.

Flashcards

A small overlay appears after 15 minutes of browsing with a spaced-repetition flashcard. Ships with 30 general knowledge cards; add your own from the card manager. Space/Enter to reveal, 1 to mark correct, 2 to skip, Esc to close. Alt+Shift+F triggers a card on demand.
Developer comments
Filter selectors occasionally need updating as YouTube and other sites change their layouts. If Shorts or Reels stop being removed, please open an issue on GitHub rather than assuming the extension is broken selector fixes are usually a quick turnaround.

The toolbar badge shows how many feed elements and scam ads have been removed on the current page. It resets when you navigate.

Want grammar and spelling checking? The Writing Assistant can connect to a self-hosted LanguageTool server for full error details. Setup guide in the GitHub README.
