unbaited

Control your X feed with an LLM of your choice from Groq. A browser extension that helps you filter out engagement bait and inflammatory content from your X (formerly Twitter) feed.

How it works

The extension uses Groq's ultra-fast API to analyze tweets using a model of your choice. When you scroll through X, it:

  1. Detects new tweets as they appear in your viewport
  2. Sends the tweet content (only text as of now) to Groq's API for analysis
  3. Blurs tweets that are identified as engagement bait, political tweets, etc.
  4. Gives you the option to reveal hidden tweets with a single click

Installation

Chrome/Safari

  1. Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store
  2. Get your API key from Groq
  3. Open the extension settings and enter your API key
  4. Optionally customize the system prompt to adjust how tweets are analyzed

Firefox

  1. Install the extension from Mozilla Add-ons
  2. Get your API key from Groq
  3. Open the extension settings and enter your API key
  4. Optionally customize the system prompt to adjust how tweets are analyzed

Browser Support

  • Chrome: ✅ Full support
  • Firefox: ✅ Full support

Development

The project consists of two parts:

  • extension/: The Chrome extension
  • landing/: The landing page built with Next.js

Extension Development

cd extension
npm i
npm build

Loading in browsers

Chrome/Safari

Load the extension/dist directory as an unpacked extension:

  1. Open Chrome/Safari
  2. Go to Extensions page
  3. Enable Developer Mode
  4. Click "Load unpacked" and select the extension/dist directory
Firefox

Load the extension temporarily:

  1. Open Firefox
  2. Go to about:debugging
  3. Click "This Firefox"
  4. Click "Load Temporary Add-on"
  5. Select any file in the extension/dist directory

Implementation Notes

The extension uses different approaches for background processing:

  • Chrome/Safari: Uses Service Workers (MV3)
  • Firefox: Uses Background Scripts (MV3 with scripts fallback)

This is handled automatically in the code, but when testing make sure to verify functionality in both environments.
