FeedGate

Hide social feeds on 7 sites, show them for 5 minutes

Turn on the sites whose feeds eat your time. The feed disappears before it renders and the rest of the site keeps working. Show it for 5 minutes when you want to look, it hides itself again on its own.

  • Hides the feed on YouTube, Instagram, X, TikTok, Reddit, Facebook and LinkedIn, only on the sites you turn on
  • Asks for access to a platform only when you turn it on, not at install
  • Shows the feed again for 1, 5, or 15 minutes on request, then hides it on its own
  • Checks its own selectors on every page load and warns you if a platform's layout broke it
  • FeedGate popup listing the seven supported sites, with YouTube, Instagram and Reddit switched on
  • Settings page: per-site switches with expandable surfaces, snooze duration set to 5 minutes, and rules for bringing the feed back
  • The same popup in dark mode
  • The same settings page in dark mode
