Keep the signal. Visit on purpose.**\n\nA browser extension that blocks algorithmic feeds while preserving the features you actually use—DMs, search, subscriptions, and direct links.\n\n## What it does\n\n| Platform | Blocked | Allowed |\n|----------|---------|---------|\n| X/Twitter | Home feed, For You | Messages, notifications, profiles, individual tweets |\n| Reddit | Home, Popular, r/all | Subreddits, comments, search, user profiles |\n| YouTube | Home, Shorts, Trending | Subscriptions, watch pages, search, channels |\n| Instagram | Feed, Explore, Reels | DMs, profiles, individual posts |\n| Facebook | Feed, Watch, Reels | Messages, groups, events, marketplace |\n| LinkedIn | Feed | Messages, jobs, profiles |\n| TikTok | Everything | — |\n\n## Install\n\n- **Chrome**: [Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/intentional-browsing) (pending)\n- **Firefox**: Coming soon\n\nOr load unpacked from `dist/chrome` or `dist/firefox` after building.\n\n## Build\n\n```bash\nnpm install\nnpm run build        # Build both Chrome and Firefox\nnpm run build:watch  # Watch mode\n```\n\nOutput:\n- `dist/chrome/` — Manifest V3 (Chrome, Edge)\n- `dist/firefox/` — Manifest V2 (Firefox)\n\n## Test\n\n```bash\nnpm test             # Unit tests (Vitest)\nnpm run test:e2e     # E2E tests (Playwright)\n```\n\n## How it works\n\n**Hard blocks**: Navigation-level blocking via `declarativeNetRequest` (Chrome) or `webNavigation` (Firefox). Redirects to a blocked page or safe destination (e.g., YouTube → Subscriptions).\n\n**Soft blocks**: DOM hiding via content scripts with MutationObserver for dynamic content.\n\n**SPA detection**: Content scripts patch `history.pushState`/`replaceState` to catch in-app route changes.\n\n## Privacy\n\nNo data collection. No analytics. Everything stays local.
