Features & Capabilities

A personal recommendation feed built in your browser. With myAlgorithm, you get daily content from Youtube/Twitter/Reddit/Quora/and more based on your daily browsing habits.

I built myAlgorithm because I wanted to escape Google's algorithm. I was tired of endlessly scrolling through content feeds and feeling like I had no control. Where is this data coming from? What do they know about me? I can tell Youtube knew I searched x and y but now I'm getting all of these political videos I have no interest in. At first I thought the only solution was to never go online...but then I realized I do enjoy these feeds, I just want to make them better. This is why I made myAlgorithm.

Everyday you get a new feed (able to refresh at will) of content from sites like Youtube/Quora/Reddit/Twitter/StackOverflow and more. You can view and edit your algorithm and the topics that you engage with often and are used to generate your feed.

As for privacy and security, the only server interactions made in the app are requests to fetch the content. Otherwise, all of the data (tracking data and settings) is stored locally in your browser to avoid any privacy concerns.

Is MyAlgorithm Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

MyAlgorithm requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
  • High ****** *** ********* ** ******* *** ******* ******* ** ****** *** *** ******** ******
  • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

MyAlgorithm has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.

Risk likelihood analysis details
  • High This extension has low user count. Unpopular extensions may not be stable or safe.
  • Low **** ********* *** ******* **** **** * ****** **** ***** ******** *** **** ****** ** ** ****** *** *****
  • Low **** ********* *** ***** **** **** * ****** **** ***** ********** *** **** ****** ** ** ****** *** *****
  • Good **** ********* *** **** **** *******
