The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.
About RecommendLess
RecommendLess protects your attention in two ways. First, it adds a deliberate pause before every supported site. Then, if you continue, it removes the feeds and recommendations that pull you in while keeping searches, messages, subscriptions, profiles, and chosen content usable.
On supported video, social, and community sites, RecommendLess can:
- replace algorithmic home feeds with your subscriptions or the accounts you follow;
- remove short-video feeds, related videos, autoplay, trends, and explore pages;
- keep messages, search, notifications, and profiles working;
- add a deliberate entry pause before every supported site, including sites where no other page content is changed.
The toolbar popup lists every supported site.
Every supported site starts with the recommended blocks enabled. Open the toolbar popup to configure each understandable block separately. Changing any block setting requires one five-second wait per popup session.
RecommendLess requires a paid License after a 14-day Trial. Paddle collects a payment method before the Trial starts and shows the renewal terms before confirmation. The extension is Inert until a Trial or License is active.
The extension needs access to supported websites to remove or redirect distracting parts in your browser. That work happens locally. It sends RecommendLess only a random installation identifier and License key for entitlement validation. Most of these checks happen while a supported website is open, so their timing can show that one was open, but not which one. It does not send the pages, URLs, or names of websites you visit, searches, messages, posts, videos, watch history, or the page elements it removes.
Remove algorithmic feed traps and recommendation loops from supported websites while keeping intentional browsing surfaces usable.
