Ackless de obambulo studio

Hides repetitive Welcome to Country and Acknowledgement of Country blocks on Australian (.au) sites. Local 24-hour activity log only—nothing sent to a server. Firefox 140+.

Ackless scans pages for common acknowledgement wording and hides matching banners, modals, footers, and similar blocks. It can dismiss some acknowledgement dialogs via safe in-page controls (e.g. Continue, Close). A small, fixed list of place names in visible text may be replaced with alternative names when those words appear (see source: src/place-names.ts).

Where it runs
- By default: *.au sites and localhost.
- Other sites: only after you click Enable on this site in the popup.

Activity (local only)
- 24-hour log on your device: hostnames, short excerpts of hidden blocks, rename counts.
- Toolbar badge with hidden-block count; View activity for details, JSON export, or Clear all.
- No analytics, no cloud sync, no remote rule lists.
- Private/incognito: hiding may still run; stats are not saved.

Permissions
- storage — settings and local activity log
- activeTab — current tab host in the popup
- tabs — open/focus the Activity page
- scripting — register scripts on sites you opt into

Data

Early release: matching is conservative; false positives/negatives are possible. Report examples on the GitHub issue tracker.
