About this extension
This add-on is an experimental art piece which demonstrates a series of creative and experimental ways of using our web browsers to engage with online platforms in a manner that undermines the exploitative algorithms and dark patterns designed by the data barons of surveillance capitalism. It walks you through how to use the Web Developer tools to modify the UI/UX behind a number of big tech platforms. Along the way you'll learn how big tech companies collect our data, which data they collect, and how they use that data and other methods to manipulate and exploit their users.
