About CleanDiff

Key Features Ignore Whitespace Diffs on GitHub Appends ?w=1 to GitHub pull request URLs, hiding whitespace changes by default.

Privacy-Friendly CleanDiff doesn’t track or collect personal data—your usage stays on your own device. How It Works Install & Activate: Once installed, CleanDiff detects GitHub pull request pages. Automatic URL Update: If a repository isn’t in your blacklist, the extension appends ?w=1 to the PR diff URL. Blacklist Support: If you prefer not to ignore whitespace changes for certain repos, simply toggle them off. Toast Notifications: Turn these on or off to see a small message whenever CleanDiff updates the URL. Why Use CleanDiff? Whitespace changes can clutter your pull request diffs and make code reviews tedious. By filtering out these changes, you can focus on genuine code modifications—saving time and reducing review friction.
