Hide distracting feeds and suggested content on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and more to unhook your brain from social media addiction Regain control of your time online. Don't let sophisticated algorithms decide what you watch, read, and think about. Escape the Algorithm hides the endless feeds and algorithmic recommendations on the world's most popular social media, short-video, and professional networking sites — while leaving everything else working normally. You can find the full list of supported sites on our website below. ⚡ What it does When you open a supported site, the main feed and suggested content are hidden by default and video autoplay is stopped. Search, messages, notifications, profiles, and posting all keep working — you just skip the infinite-scroll trap engineered to keep you there. Unlike blockers that lock you out completely, nothing is deleted: every feed is still one click away when you genuinely want it. 🎯 Built for intentional browsing • A show/hide toggle on each page lets you peek at a hidden feed when you actually need it • If you reveal a feed, a 10-minute timer quietly re-hides it so a quick peek doesn't turn into an hour • Hardcore mode removes the toggles entirely for stricter blocking when you really mean it • Autoplay of the next video stays off, so one video doesn't turn into ten • Turn blocking on or off per site from the popup 🔒 Privacy first — and you can verify it • No tracking, no analytics, no data collection • Everything runs locally in your browser; your settings never leave your device • Fully open source — audit every line: https://github.com/nestolobo/escapethealgorithm 🧠 The mission The internet should make us smarter, more curious, and happier — not more anxious and distracted. Escape the Algorithm is a small step toward an internet that's a resource for learning and entertainment instead of a slot machine for attention. 📬 Get in touch Bug reports, feature ideas, or thoughts about a better internet: ✉️ ernest@escapethealgorithm.org 🌐 https://www.escapethealgorithm.org 💻 GitHub issues and pull requests welcome
