About ZenX
ZenX — One-click zen reading mode for X.com articles.
Tired of distractions when reading posts on X.com (Twitter)? ZenX strips away the noise and gives you a clean, focused, distraction-free reading experience — like a reader mode built for X.
✦ What it does:
• Hides comments, replies, and interaction buttons
• Removes left navigation, right sidebar, and floating drawers (Grok, chat)
• Hides Premium ads, Grok button, and sticky navigation bar
• Expands the article to a comfortable reading width (golden ratio)
• Fixes image display for full-width viewing
• Click any image to open X's native image viewer — works seamlessly in Zen mode
• Automatically scrolls to the top for a fresh start
• Toggle on/off with a single click — exits cleanly without reloading the page
✦ How to use:
1. Navigate to any post on X.com (x.com/*/status/*)
2. Click the ZenX icon in your toolbar
3. Enjoy distraction-free reading
4. Click the icon again to restore the original page — no reload needed
The extension button is only active on X.com article pages — it stays grayed out everywhere else, so it never gets in your way.
✦ Privacy first:
ZenX does not collect, store, or transmit any data. Everything runs locally in your browser. No analytics, no cookies, no third-party services.
✦ Permissions explained:
• activeTab — to modify the current page when you click
• scripting — to inject zen-mode styles
• declarativeContent — to enable the button only on article pages
