Summary

Clickmask uses machine learning to automatically remove clickbait links from any website that you visit. Clickbait is any link that is vague, misleading, sensationalized and/or emotionally charged in order to make people click on the link more often than they would otherwise. We think that clickbait is frustrating and distracting, so we created this add-on in order to bring back control of what you see into your hands.

Besides just removing the clickbait links, you can also view what links we removed and what we thought of the links on the page. You can flag links on the page for us to review if you think they were clickbait and ClickMask didn't think they were. Finally, you can change in the settings how sure ClickMask has to be that a link is clickbait in order to remove it from the page.
