Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

A focused toolkit for a cleaner feed, deliberate account controls, and simple media downloads.

Ad handling on your terms

Regular ads are detected in real time. Promoted posts are optional, and every match can either hide the post locally or block the advertiser account through X's native flow.

Media downloader

Download the highest-bitrate MP4, convert X GIFs, or save full-resolution images and multi-photo posts with clean filenames.

Personal filters, local control

Hide posts containing a word, phrase, hashtag, or handle. Filter matches stay local and never trigger an account block.

One popup, full visibility

See category-level stats, review blocked advertiser history, export or import local data, and keep every setting within reach.

11 languages, zero flash

English, Türkçe, Deutsch, Français, Español, Português, Italiano, Русский, 日本語, 한국어, and 中文. Browser detection and manual override are built in.

Settings that match the extension

Regular ad blocking, optional promoted posts, action mode, toast notifications, media-only display, and language settings are all visible in one place.

How it works

Smart. Silent. Surgical.

The extension works with X's visible interface and user-triggered media requests. No filter lists to maintain and no background telemetry.

01

Detects in real time

A debounced MutationObserver watches for new tweets and checks exact ad labels outside the tweet body.

02

Respects the selected action

Use Block account on X for a lasting account-level action, or Hide post only for a local and reversible choice.

03

Keeps local history useful

Unique advertiser handles, categories, counters, filters, and blocked history are stored locally and rendered in the popup.

04

Downloads only on click

The background worker resolves tweet media through X's public syndication endpoint only after you press the download button, then fetches the selected file.

05

Handles X's dynamic UI

Hydration-aware retries, temporary interaction shielding, and rescan-on-reenable keep the experience stable as the feed changes.

Privacy

Zero telemetry.
Clear boundaries.

The extension is designed to keep your controls and history on your device while being precise about the X requests needed for media downloads.

No third-party telemetry

No analytics, tracking pixels, crash reporting, or settings transmission. The extension does not send your X activity to a third party.

Only when you download

When you click download, the extension uses X's public syndication endpoint to resolve the best file, then fetches the selected media from X's media hosts. Nothing is sent to a third party.

Local storage only

Settings, filters, counters, language preference, and blocked history live in chrome.storage.local on your device.
