Verified Only: Focus Your Feed on Trusted Voices

Tired of scrolling through endless noise on social media? Verified Only is your ultimate Chrome extension for a cleaner, more reliable browsing experience on X (formerly Twitter). By intelligently filtering out posts from non-verified accounts, this lightweight tool lets you prioritize content from authenticated users—whether it's blue-check individuals or gold-check organizations. Say goodbye to spam, bots, and unverified chatter, and hello to a streamlined feed filled with credible voices.

Why Choose Verified Only?
In today's fast-paced digital world, misinformation and low-quality content can overwhelm your timeline. Verified Only empowers you to take control:
 - Enhance Focus and Productivity: Cut through the clutter and engage only with verified content, making your time on X more efficient and enjoyable.
- Boost Trust and Safety: By hiding unverified posts, you reduce exposure to potential scams, fake news, or irrelevant promotions.
- Customizable for Your Needs: Whether you're a news junkie, influencer follower, or casual user, tailor your experience to see only what's verified.

Designed with simplicity in mind, Verified Only works seamlessly in the background without slowing down your browser. It's perfect for journalists, researchers, professionals, and anyone who values authenticity on social platforms.

Key Features in Version 1.0
We've packed Verified Only with essential tools to make filtering effortless:
- Smart Post Filtering: Automatically detects and hides posts from non-verified accounts across your home feed, search results, profiles, replies, and notifications. Using advanced DOM analysis, it checks for official verification badges (blue or gold checkmarks) before deciding what to show.
- Built-in Delay for Accuracy: Includes a short 500ms delay to ensure badges load fully, preventing false positives on slow connections.
- Easy Toggle On/Off: Switch the filter with a single click via the browser popup. Your preference is saved across sessions, so you can enable it during focused sessions and disable for full access.
- Dynamic Real-Time Updates: Handles X's infinite scrolling and live refreshes with MutationObserver technology. New posts are scanned instantly as they load—no need to refresh manually.
- Informative Placeholders: Instead of blank spaces, hidden posts are replaced with subtle placeholders like "Hidden: Post from non-verified account." This keeps your feed layout intact while reminding you why content is filtered.
- Lightweight and Performant: Minimal impact on browser speed, even on feeds with hundreds of posts. No unnecessary permissions or background processes.
- Broad Compatibility: Works on all X pages, including home, explore, user profiles, and more. Supports both desktop and high-DPI displays.

Future updates may include whitelisting options, custom themes for placeholders, and enhanced settings—stay tuned!

How It Works
1. Install and Activate: Add Verified Only from the Chrome Web Store and pin it to your toolbar for quick access.
2. Browse X as Usual: Open X.com, and the extension auto-activates on matching pages.
3. Toggle and Customize: Click the icon to turn filtering on/off. The default is enabled for immediate results.
4. See the Difference: Verified posts remain visible; others are hidden with placeholders. Scroll, search, or reply—everything updates dynamically.

No login required beyond your X account, and it runs entirely client-side for privacy.
