# Kein Alt - Chrome Extension

## Overview

Kein Alt is a Chrome extension designed to help users manage their alternative Twitter/X accounts (alts) by providing a way to keep them private.  It currently implements a feature to redirect to the main user profile when the user navigates to the main domain (x.com).

## Features

*   **Username Saving:** Allows users to save their main Twitter/X username.

*   **Redirection:** Redirects the user to their main profile when they visit x.com.

*   **Overlay (In Development):**  Intended to add an overlay when the user is logged in to prevent accidental alt usage.

## Files

*   `popup.html`:  The HTML for the extension's popup.

*   `popup.js`:  The JavaScript for the popup, handling user input and saving the username.

*   `background.js`:  The background script that listens for URL changes and implements the redirection and overlay logic.

*   `manifest.json`:  The manifest file that defines the extension's metadata, permissions, and other settings.

## Usage

1.  **Installation:**

    *   Open Chrome and go to `chrome://extensions/`.

    *   Enable "Developer mode" in the top right corner.

    *   Click "Load unpacked" and select the directory containing the extension files.

2.  **Configuration:**

    *   Click the Kein Alt extension icon in the Chrome toolbar.

    *   Enter your main Twitter/X username and click "Save Username".

3.  **Usage:**

    *   Navigate to x.com.  You should be redirected to your main profile.
