Keep it simple Extension

Makes particular websites less cluttered by removing extraneous content, like read-next or watch-next recommendations. It focuses primarily on Youtube, The Guardian, TED, Aeon and several other sites.

+ simplifies Youtube for better focus
+ enables you to easily remove distracting elements yourself
+ enables you to stop gifs
+ enables you to highlight list items
+ enables you to switch articles to simplified \"reader-mode\"
+ makes ads on DuckDuckGo and Ecosia more distinguishable
+ redirects Facebook homepage to Events page (or any other page) so you cannot see the timeline
+ and more

It does not track you in any way.
The functionalities are highly customisable.
Best served with your favourite ad-blocker.

leon me (ID: 000000200bafb3fe) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/03/2023 it's just what i needed

Kristina (ID: 000000f2164cc050) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/29/2019 It helps me spend less time scrolling pointlessly on facebook or being overflown with immediate recommendations from youtube when I would actually like to digest the info I just received. It also helps me stay more focused on the article I'm reading and consume as much info as I feel I want. Feels like I have more control of what information I (want to) see, thanks!
