Summary

Analyze keywords

Noticed a trend lately? More and more websites are adding facebook/twitter/reddit widgets to "Share", "Like", or "Tweet" their articles. Often theses float on the side of the page as you scroll up and down, and sometimes they show up two or three times on the same page! It's getting to the point where "Share this" widgets are almost as annoying as advertisements.

Miser hides these buttons as you browse the web. Miser also provides a toolbar button you can click to reveal a popup with widgets to share and view likes for the social networks of your choice, so you can like or share a page when you decide to.

User reviews

Didn't do a thing for me. Installed it, opened a new chrome window, went to the offending website, and there are the same crummy social icons sliding in from the left. Hate the things; they take up too much room if I zoom in on some text. Or they even overlay the text. Miser did nothing to stop that.

Exactly what I was looking for. Went to the same website with the annoying share buttons and they were nowhere to be seen. Thank you.
