Description from extension meta
Calorie Hider censors calories when you're browsing the web. Ex: both '30 calories' and '1000 calories' would look like 'X calories'

Description from store
Caloric values will be replaced with "X" or any text/word of your choice. You can edit the text/word that will replace the number by clicking on the icon of the extension in the top right corner of your browser.
For example, when this extension is activated, you won't see recipes' caloric information. This also works with Deliveroo so you can use it to order food without triggering yourself!
Disclaimer: It takes 1-3 seconds to actually hide the number (depending on the website) after the page is displayed so keep that in mind as you browse. I'm working on fixing it but in the meantime, what I do is I look away for a bit while the page loads.
Note: This extension isn't perfect, nutritional information is displayed in a lot of different ways by different websites. I did my best to cover the most common cases. However, if ever you see a site/situation where the censoring doesn't work, please comment or email me the details! That way, I can improve the accuracy of the extension for you and everyone else :)

- (2023-01-21) Luke Williams: Great tool for avoiding calories on websites, like Deliveroo. Would be great to have it ported over to Safari to make it usable on iPhone, though.
- (2022-07-27) Nia Hopkins: I'm so grateful for this extension. I googled specifically for an extension like this just hoping it existed after I was reminded that chain restaurants on Deliveroo etc. now have all the calories listed. As someone in recovery from an eating disorder it really messes with me to see those numbers everywhere when I've worked so hard not to think about them anymore. I'm just really grateful that someone made this, thank you so much, will be sharing with all my friends.
- (2022-04-24) Quin O: SUPER useful now our joke of a PM has put calories everywhere! I only wish I'd known about it before I tried looking for food cos it's gonna take me a while to get over looking at the calories on my safe foods. Works really well with Deliveroo which honestly surprises me because that website is normally a nightmare to extensions. It doesn't always work with everything but that's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes
- (2021-09-20) Mary Richards: I have tried it out and it's great! It just takes a moment to ACTUALLY hide the number so I have to look away or look down for a microsecond to let the page load, otherwise I'll see it before it's censored. I'm grateful for this app though, and I hope it can be fixed soon! Thank you developer! I feel a little safer in my recovery and looking for good recipes online without seeing those calories I'm so afraid of. <3

- (2022-04-22, v:1.0.1) Jack Bell: Some Suggestions!
Hi! I'm writing as someone who's not recovering from an ED but knows people who are. Recently the UK has brought in legislation forcing many restaurants to include calorie labelling, so an extension like this should become very useful and I've already recommended it to friends after trying it myself. To make this even better, I had a couple of suggestions which would ensure nothing sneaks past. - While the extension censors calories, restaurants like McDonalds are also including kilojoule measurements, which are directly proportional to calories. Hiding these would ensure those in recovery don't see any numbers that lead to figuring out the calories. - Many menus are in PDF format, and some include calorie counts which the extension, understandably, doesn't catch. I don't know if there's a solution to this, and if there was, whether the extension could handle it. An alternative tool, like a converter site, might be necessary, but I wanted to flag it up anyway! - Since a lot of browsing is done on mobile, I'm not sure if there's potential to develop an app that hides calories? I've had a look on Google Play and can't find anything. Thanks so much for the work you've done on this, I can envision it helping a lot of people!
