Minimal is a browser extension to experience a minimal, less attention grabbing internet experience. Internet should be a tool, not a trap.
Minimal is driven by core values:
- The user must actively make choices by themselves.
- A user should easily find the content they are searching for on a page, not the content a platform wants them to see.
- A service provider can convince the user to use their platform, but only through their services' inner quality.
This extension is being developed for the greater good, its an open source project, you can check the code and contribute here: https://gitlab.com/aupya/minimal.

- (2021-03-24) A. B. (Barcode): This is fantastic. If you're considering expanding the list of sites, would you consider Twitter? The almost-real-time numerical alert for notification and messages use behavioral psychology to raise their engagement metrics. All the likes on tweets are behavioral psych rewards to drive desired behavior.
