Don't Feed Me

Tracking since Apr 11, 2026.

Changelog

  description

  You open YouTube to watch a tutorial. You open LinkedIn to post. You open X to reply to someone. The scrolling feed is already running before you've made a choice.
  
  Don't Feed Me changes the default. When you arrive, the feed is off. Everything else works — search, subscriptions, messages, posting, analytics, profiles, playlists, trending, groups, jobs, notifications. All of it.
  
  The only thing that's gone when you arrive is the scrolling feed. Do what you came to do. When you want to feed, you choose — not the platform.
  
  Click the extension icon, pick 15, 30, or 45 minutes, and the feed comes back. Then it's gone again. Scrolling isn't the problem. Opening a platform and having no choice about it — that's the problem.
  
  
  HOW IT WORKS
  
  1. Install the extension. No account, no sign-up, no data collected.
  2. Open YouTube, X, or LinkedIn. Where the feed was, a friendly placeholder (Grem) is sitting quietly. Everything else works exactly as before.
  3. Click the extension icon when you want to browse. Pick a timer. Feed by choice.
  
  
  WHAT STAYS, WHAT GOES
  
  YouTube — Homepage feed removed. Search, subscriptions, playlists, watch pages, channels, comments all work normally.
  
  X / Twitter — Timeline removed. Search, profiles, notifications, messages, trending, lists all work normally.
  
  LinkedIn — Feed removed. Jobs, messaging, notifications, profiles, posting, analytics all work normally.
  
  
  PRIVACY
  
  No data collected. No accounts. No tracking. No analytics. The extension runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.
  
  Free. No premium tier. No catch.

  The feed isn't why you showed up. But it's why you stayed. Don't Feed Me changes that.
  
  When you open YouTube, X or LinkedIn, the algorithmic feed is hidden by default. Where it used to be, Grem (a friendly placeholder) is sitting quietly. Everything else still works — search, subscriptions, messages, posting, profiles, jobs, notifications. All of it.
  
  Do what you came to do. Then either leave, or click the extension icon and pick a feeding window — 15, 30 or 45 minutes. The feed comes back, time-bound, on your terms. Stop early any time.
  
  Scrolling isn't the problem. Falling into the feed before you've made a choice — that's the problem. You can't out-willpower a UI that's been optimised by thousands of engineers against billions of eyeballs. We are cats with laser pointers at the end of the day. So this extension changes the laser pointer's default position. Off until you ask, not always on.

  WHAT STAYS, WHAT GOES
  
  YouTube — Homepage feed hidden. Search, subscriptions, playlists, watch pages, channels, comments all work normally.
  
  X / Twitter — The "For You" tab is hidden. The "Following" tab still works (the people you actually chose to hear from). Search, profiles, notifications, messages, trending, lists all work normally.
  
  LinkedIn — Home feed hidden. Jobs, messaging, notifications, profiles, posting, analytics all work normally.
  
  PRIVACY
  No data collected. No accounts. No tracking. No analytics. The extension runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.
  
  Free. No premium tier. No catch. Updated every few weeks to keep pace with the moving UI of these platforms.
