About this extension

AttentionGuard reveals how much of your social media feed you actually chose. It classifies every item as ad, algorithmic, social, or organic — giving you a real-time breakdown of platform manipulation. Runs 100% locally with no data collection.

Supported platforms: Reddit, Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Amazon. Detection covers promoted posts, "For You" feeds, sponsored products, Shorts, urgency tactics, and social-proof signals.

Open source (MIT). No account required. No telemetry. Your browsing data never leaves your browser.
