Great idea, but requires learning a new UI, doesn't fetch "streams"...

In any case, it's great to see the family of FBPurity and Antigram being joined by a new tool.

Maybe a harsh thing to say, but I'd say that the approach is wrong. I think that the approach by FBPurity and Antigram is more practical. Just hook into the website itself, hide the dopamine-production inducing elements, such as "shorts", hide recommendations, but keep the UI the same.

Fair critique. The browser extension approach works well on desktop but does not work on mobile at all, which is exactly where the algorithm does the most damage. That's the gap NoSuggest is filling.

I'm using both of the extensions on Android Firefox.

Both work, even though they require turning on "desktop mode to be full-featured (even though even on mobile versions some features wotk).
