unhook chrome extension

if you're trying to get off Youtube (but still find value in people's work) this is for you... basically you get to decide exactly what sections of the site to hide/remove (i disabled autoplay, home page, recommendations and shorts -- anything algorithmically generated)! plus it makes you pay attention to WHO exactly you're subscribed to and what you want to cultivate in your media diet

Using safari's "reader mode"

Great for minimizing ads and distractions, but even more great for getting around roughly 50% of paywalls
(without having to copy and paste urls or download any extra extensions/tools)

SocialFocus: Hide Distractions - plugin for chrome/brave

I just saw a couple people reccing about using Instagram in the browser and thought of this handy free plugin.
It allows you to disable dozens of different social features, website specific, for Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, Twitter, and more. Turn off reels or shorts or suggested videos. Disable adds, comments, the feed, etc.
Clarifying: for desktop browsers only.

LOOKING INTO INDIEWEB

Cool part of the web that may go unnoticed. Gives you a spark of what the web can be if more of us were onboarded before the big apps became our main entry point
