No Algorithms by WarreTh

I got the idea from No-Algorithms by thejoeman23.

A browser extension that removes short form content and algorithms from social media websites while keeping the main site intact.

Installation

👉 Download on Firefox Add-ons

👉 Download on Chrome Web Store

Note

Installing pre-release versions manually: You can download beta builds directly from the Releases page.

• Google Chrome: Download the chrome-extension-[VERSION].zip file and unzip it. Go to chrome://extensions, enable Developer mode, and click Load unpacked to select the unzipped folder.
  
• Mozilla Firefox: Download the firefox-extension-[VERSION].xpi file and drag it directly into your Firefox window to install it.

Development

cd "Base Extension"
npm install
npm test          # build + typecheck + unit/DOM test suites
npm run test:e2e  # loads the built extension into real Chromium (needs build:all)
npm run build:all # build chrome + firefox into build/
npm run lint      # web-ext lint on the firefox build

The content script lives in src/: src/core/ holds the engine (settings, route watching, redirects, link rewriting), the shared focus overlay and the page timer; src/sites/ holds one module per site. Per-site static CSS and settings live in sites/<site>/; sites/shared/overlay.css is the single source of truth for the overlay design and is inlined into every site bundle by the build.
