20µs per post
Fast enough to forget it's there.
Most feed filters make infinite scroll stutter. DeFeed checks each post in about 20 microseconds, and its longest block of work stays under 6 milliseconds, well inside the time your browser has to draw a frame.
It started as a fix for slow Facebook filters. Scrolling should feel like scrolling.

Rules that hit what you mean.
Type a rule and watch it work on a few sample posts. DeFeed matches whole words, so a rule for one thing doesn't quietly hide another.
Separate several rules with commas.

Rules do most of the work. These handle the rest.
See what was filtered
One view shows only the filtered posts, each labelled with the rule that caught it. Fix a wrong hit with “Never hide this post” or by removing the rule.
Rule suggestions
Hide three posts from the same author or with the same word, and DeFeed offers to make it a rule. Worked out on your computer, with no AI involved.
Weekly report
Posts removed, an estimate of scrolling time saved, a per-site breakdown and your top rules. Share it as a 1200×630 image.
Dim mode
Rather keep filtered posts in view? Dim mode fades them instead of hiding them. Hover one and it comes back to full strength.
Five sites, one extension
Most filters cover a single site, and some X-only ones charge about $5 a month. DeFeed handles all five with one set of rules, for free.

Questions
When can I install DeFeed?
Version 0.6.4 is in final testing and will be in the Chrome Web Store soon. The button at the top of this page will link there once it's live.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every feature on this page is free. A paid Pro plan with meaning-based filtering is planned for later, and it won't take anything away from the free version.
Can DeFeed see what I read?
DeFeed reads the posts on the five supported sites so it can filter them, and it does that inside your browser. It has no server and no account, and nothing about your feed is sent anywhere. Your settings sync between your computers only through your own Chrome sync.
Which sites does it work on?
YouTube, X, Reddit (both the new design and old.reddit), Hacker News, and Facebook. Facebook support is in beta because its page layout changes often.
Will it slow down my feed?
It shouldn't. Each post takes about 20 microseconds to check, and the longest single block of work stays under 6 milliseconds, so scrolling stays smooth even on long sessions.
What if it hides something I wanted to see?
Open “What did DeFeed filter?”. It shows only the hidden posts, each with the rule that caught it. Choose “Never hide this post” or remove the rule. If you'd rather never miss anything, turn on Dim mode.
How do I write a rule?
Type a word or phrase. Matching ignores case and accents and works on whole words. Add * to catch other forms (elect* catches election and elected), or wrap a pattern in slashes for a regular expression, like /\d+x\b/. You can also filter by author or by site.
I found a bug. Where do I report it?
Use the bug report form. It includes your DeFeed version, browser, the site, the mode, how many rules you have (never the rules themselves) and one performance number. You can also email defeedsupport@gmail.com.
