Privacy & Security

No shady business. Here's exactly what this extension does and doesn't do.

What It Does

  • ✓ Stores your block list in Chrome's secure sync storage
  • ✓ Reads page content to find usernames and hide posts
  • ✓ Adds right-click menu options for blocking
  • ✓ Works entirely in your browser

What It Does NOT Do

  • ✗ Send any data to external servers
  • ✗ Track your browsing history
  • ✗ Collect passwords, cookies, or personal info
  • ✗ Inject ads or modify page content (except hiding blocked users)
  • ✗ Phone home, run analytics, or do anything sketchy

The code is in the zip file. Unzip it and read it yourself if you want. It's not obfuscated.

Built for the GFY community. Inspired by the original blocker built with my buddy Killswitch.
