does this remove an entire feed or selective content in feed don't want to see?
The current version just grabs the whole feed and removes it from the website. If you can program, it won't be hard for you to extend it so you can remove only the content you want.

The whole point is to actually have installed locally so you don't share any data with the developer of the extension. The problem with extensions is that in many cases the access that you give them is way too broad. If you install it by yourself, you control everything. The only thing that I thought about is maybe some kind of configurator that would allow you to pick some already existing rules that the users would…
There isn't really a special protection if you install a extension in developer mode. More the opposite because you have to totally trust the source. Web stores search for certain malware patterns and get at leat some.
Given that uBlock Origin can do this, I'd recommend that route. uBlock Origin is probably the most trustworthy extension I've ever run across, and Gorhill has proven that he is trustworthy over many years.
Content blockers like uBlock Origin can do this. The two included in this extension become these cosmetic filters: www.facebook.com##[role="feed"] www.youtube.com###contents
Cool! Just curious, why do you query 10 times per second for a feed? This seems kind of excessive and maybe a bit bad for battery life, especially since this could be running in several tabs at once.
This is just the straightforward idea of waiting for some element to appear on the website. But once the element is found, this thing stops. It won't stop for YouTube if you are on Facebook though but it's just a first implementation and it could actually be very easy to recognize the site. Thanks for the helpful suggestion!

The main problem that I have with extensions is: "It can: Read and change all your data on all websites" Having my own, local extension I don't have to actually think whether I added some sensitive stuff to be exempt from permissions or not.

Still, much smarter to try it first to see if it fits your use case.

hey just curious, can't the mutationobserver catch this instead of that approach? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MutationObs...
