Antisocial X: Reimagine Your X/Twitter Experience

Transform X into a space where ideas stand on their own merit. Strip away the noise of social metrics and rediscover genuine engagement.

Like UnTrap for YouTube, Antisocial X creates a more mindful social media experience. The extension provides a truly neutral browsing experience on X (fka Twitter), allowing users to engage with content based solely on its inherent value, without visible engagement metrics, follower counts, or social proof indicators.

New Features in v1.1:
- Address Bar Menu - Mode Toggles
- Two New Modes: Antisocial Mode & Disable Notifications

Key Features:
- Hides follower counts, like counts, retweet counts, and view counts
- Removes 'Followed by' and 'Followers you know' sections
- Disable Notifications mode to minimize distractions
- Maintains all core interactive features (like, retweet, follow)
- Works on both twitter.com and x.com

Benefits:
- Evaluate content based on quality, not popularity
- Reduce social pressure and comparison
- Focus on meaningful interactions
- Experience more diverse perspectives

Privacy: This extension operates entirely locally and does not collect any user data.

Warning: May promote critical thinking and authentic expression! 😉
