Radar

In progress

Extensions that remove what you did not ask to see

One extension, one job. Pay once, no subscription. Everything runs in your browser: no data goes anywhere, because there is no server to receive it.

The problem

The platforms you use every day slot advertising into the middle of what you came for. A LinkedIn feed, an Amazon search, an X timeline: half of what scrolls past was not chosen by you.

General-purpose blockers handle this from a distance, with huge filter lists and permissions covering your whole browser. Radar takes the opposite approach: one extension per site, able to do nothing else.

Currently in development

Three extensions are written and tested. None is published on the Chrome Web Store yet, so there are no install links on this page.

  • Hide LinkedIn Sponsored Posts

    Hides sponsored posts from the LinkedIn feed. It keys off the post badge rather than CSS classes, which change with every site update.

  • Hide Amazon Sponsored Products

    Hides sponsored products in search results. Tested against a live results page: six ads out of six hidden, no regular product touched.

  • Hide Promoted Tweets

    Hides promoted posts from the X timeline. Anchored to an internal attribute that has been stable for years rather than to how tweets look.

What the extension asks for

A Radar extension declares a single permission: the ability to remember your setting. No access to your history, no remote server, no account. You can check this yourself, since an extension's manifest file is public.

manifest.json
{
  "manifest_version": 3,
  "permissions": ["storage"],
  "host_permissions": [],
  "content_scripts": [
    { "matches": ["https://www.amazon.fr/*"] }
  ]
}

Where Radar stands

Three extensions built, none published. Publication is waiting on developer account approval and a final test pass on each site involved. So there is nothing to install today.
