Hide the most addictive surfaces
Removes YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels sections from your browser so they stop yelling for your attention every time you open a tab.
Why DeScroll
DeScroll doesn’t block the entire site — only the infinite, swipe‑style feeds built to keep you stuck. You stay in control of what stays visible.
Removes YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels sections from your browser so they stop yelling for your attention every time you open a tab.
Keep the tools you need — search, playlists, creators — without the endless feed. DeScroll helps you use platforms intentionally.
No subscriptions, no sign‑ups, and no data collection. The code is open, auditable, and runs entirely on your machine.
Installation
DeScroll works like any unpacked browser extension. Here’s how to add it to Chrome, Edge, Brave, or other Chromium‑based browsers.
chrome://extensions (or the equivalent
extensions page).
Whenever you download a new version of DeScroll, just repeat steps 2 and 5 with the updated folder.
Privacy & Trust
DeScroll is built to be boring from a data perspective: no tracking, no analytics, no servers. Just a small script that hides what you don’t want to see.
DeScroll doesn’t send anything anywhere. It operates purely on the pages you already have open.
No telemetry, no pixel, no statistics dashboard. We don’t know how you use it — and we’re happy that way.
The code is available on GitHub so you can review, fork, or extend it. Trust is earned by making the details visible.
