About

nothx removes the parts of the web that steal your attention without touching the parts you actually use.

WHAT IT BLOCKS 
YouTube
- Shorts (feed, sidebar, search results, /shorts page)
- Homepage recommendation feed
- Related / autoplay sidebar
- Comments
- End screen suggestions
- Trending page
- Notification bell

Instagram
- Reels (nav link & /reels page)
- Stories bar
- "Suggested for you" posts
- Home feed
- Comments

Google Search
- AI Overview summaries
- AI Mode tab
- Short video results

Site Blocker
- Block any domain entirely. Just type the URL and it's gone.

HOW IT WORKS 
Everything is toggled per-feature. Turn off only what bothers you. No accounts, no tracking, no data leaves your browser — all settings are
stored locally via Chrome sync.

PRO 
nothx Pro adds time-based scheduling: set active hours for each feature so blocking kicks in and off automatically. Useful for focus hours
during the day while keeping the evening free.

PERMISSIONS 
- storage: saves your settings
- declarativeNetRequest: blocks sites at the network level
- tabs: applies settings to already-open tabs when you change them
- Host permissions for YouTube, Instagram, and Google: required to run the content filters on those pages. The broad host permission
(https://*/*) is required only for the site blocker to work on any domain you choose to block.
