Show Following, not the “For You” feed
Scroll your feed and notice how much of it came from someone you<br>chose to follow. Most of it didn’t. It was picked<br>for you , and it was picked because it keeps you scrolling.<br>Our feeds have become tabloids. Full of rage-bait, sensationalism,<br>paid sponsorships and other forms of easy dopamine. It’s the<br>adult equivalent of jingling keys in front of a baby. Even worse, it<br>literally never ends.
Not for You removes everything you didn’t<br>ask for: the suggested accounts, the promoted posts, the<br>“people you may know.” Instead, you only see what you<br>chose to follow, in the order it was posted. And you can<br>actually get to the end of it.
I’ve been using it for a while and I feel like my brain is<br>eating healthier. I spend far less time on social media, still feel<br>caught up, and don’t struggle with FOMO.

How does it work?
Every platform already has a chronological feed. The<br>extension sends you to it, then hides the promoted and suggested<br>content around it. Nothing is injected or rewritten.
Will I miss posts from people I follow?
The opposite. The “For You” feed shows a fraction of<br>what the people you follow actually post, and fills the gap with<br>whatever keeps you scrolling. Removing the suggested content lets<br>you be intentional about what you consume.
How is this different from a feed blocker?
Blockers treat the feed as the problem: they blank it, cover it<br>with a quote, or make you wait it out. That lasts until you<br>actually want to use the site. The premise here is that the feed<br>isn’t the problem, the algorithm is.
What if I want the algorithm back?
You only opt into the changes you want: every switch in the menu<br>works per site, instantly. There is also a “Disable for 5<br>minutes” button for the times you want to fall down the<br>rabbit hole on purpose.
Will it break anything?
No. Search, profiles, messages and posting work exactly as before.<br>If a redesign does break something, I’ll ship a fix. If you<br>spot it first, please<br>file an issue.
Does it send my data anywhere?
There is nowhere to send it. No accounts, no servers, no analytics,<br>and the extension makes no network requests of its own.<br>More on privacy.
Does it work on my phone?
No. It works in desktop browsers: Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Brave,<br>Opera, Arc, anything built on Chromium. Mobile devices are closed<br>platforms and don’t allow extensions.
Does it block ads?
Not really. It hides the promoted posts baked into the feeds it<br>cleans, but it’s not an ad blocker.<br>uBlock Origin Lite<br>and<br>AdGuard<br>have that covered.
