Calmer Internet Extension

Many sites are designed to suck time away from you by showing you things that are interesting enough to keep you scrolling but offers no value.

This extension strips away all these comments, recommendations and promotions leaving you with just the content you have specifically asked to receive.

The extension removes the following elements (all of these can be turned back on if you so wish):

YouTube:
- Home links
- Explore links
- Trending link (mobile)
- Comments
- Redirect home page to subscriptions
- Watch next section
- Live chat
- End screen video wall
- \"People also watched\" in searches

Twitter elements:
- Trending bar
- Explore links
- 'Who to Follow' bar
- Topics bar

Instagram elements:
- Explore links
- Explore people links
- Comments below posts in feed
- Comments in posts

Release Notes:
* v1.1.1 - Add support for non-english Twitter
* v1.1.2 - Fix redirect from music.youtube.com. This site is now accessible
* v1.2.0 - Add ability to remove \"People also watched\" and other suggestions from YouTube searches
