FUQUORA Extension

This extension endeavors to make Quora a useable website by removing several features and behaviors that are anti-user and simply confusing.

Features of FUQUORA:
- removes \"related questions\" box and sidebar ads to center content while widening posts for readability
- removes \"related\" posts from threads
- removes \"bot\" posts from threads
- removes \"advertisement\" posts from threads
- removes ads and paywalls from blocking post content
- outlines true \"original\" answers to questions of the thread in red (some threads may not have any)
- retains \"answers to similar questions\" within thread which may be relevant to the thread title
- prevents forced login when clicking a link to a thread external to the current one
- highlights \"originally answered\" thread links to make clear that the answer was originally posted in a different but similar thread and that the thread hyperlink is clickable

How it works:
This extension works entirely on the client-side to enhance the user experience when visiting Quora. Because Quora uses a lot of JavaScript to insert posts after initial page load, this extension takes some time to detect and remove extraneous posts. It may take several seconds to work fully, depending on the size of a given thread.

Reporting issues / Requesting features:
Please reach out via email with any questions or concerns regarding this extension.
