Overview

Unclutter is a WXT browser extension for Chrome, Chromium and Firefox by Kitze. When you analyze a page, it sends up to 60 bounded candidate descriptions (tag, structural signals, short text, position and match count) to Jev via Vercel AI Gateway or TypeSafe directly. Jev classifies which elements are nonessential, such as ads, promotions, subscription popups and cookie overlays, and the extension saves hiding rules for that page template.

Saved templates are reapplied on later visits without further model calls, so most browsing is free and offline. Rules use stable attributes rather than AI-generated CSS, are revalidated against the DOM before hiding, and can be paused, unchecked or forgotten. Analysis is manual by default, with an optional on-visit mode. No full URL, title, article body, form values, cookies or raw HTML is sent, though the README says redaction is not a guarantee of anonymity. It is MIT licensed.

How it works

  1. Collect up to 60 candidate element descriptions on the page.
  2. Jev classifies which are clutter.
  3. Save stable-selector hiding rules for the page template.
  4. Reapply rules on later visits without model calls.

Strengths

  • One analysis per page template; later visits cost nothing.
  • Reversible, user-controllable rules.
  • Limited, redacted data sent to the provider.

Caveats

  • Template matching is heuristic.
  • Firefox builds are temporary without Mozilla signing.
  • Key stored unencrypted in extension storage.

Getting started

git clone https://github.com/kitze/unclutter.git && bun install --frozen-lockfile && bun run build, then load .output/chrome-mv3 unpacked.
