Begone X Captions Autor: Henock Tesfaye

Suffer for your scrolling. Begone X Captions hides the text of video posts on X/Twitter and forces you to click a button 10 times (or more) to read it.

Sick of doomscrolling through hot takes attached to every video? This extension hides the post text behind a progressive-click gate. Watch the video first. Then decide if the text is worth 10 clicks of your thumb.

Features:
- Text on video posts is hidden by default
- Click the reveal button N times to read (configurable, minimum 10)
- Only one post visible at a time — revealing another re-hides the first
- "Hide completely" mode: text stays hidden forever, no reveal button
- Works on every page of x.com — timeline, detail view, search, lists
- Applies to all posts with video: originals, retweets, replies, GIFs

Why: X optimises for engagement, not for your attention span. This extension lets you watch the video without the text commentary hijacking your brain — unless you really, really want to read it.
