About this extension
X (Twitter) is trying to become TikTok. The algorithm wants to suck you into a passive stream of video "slop," draining your focus and killing your ability to read deeply.
It is impossible to focus on a thoughtful text thread when a video is moving in your peripheral vision. Your eyes are hardwired to look at motion, and the app exploits that.
X Autoplay Blocker gives you your agency back.
The Features:
The Philosophy:
Social media should be a tool you use, not a trap that uses you. Stop the scroll-trance. Stop the passive consumption.
Cook your feed. Don't let the feed cook you.
