Features & Capabilities

RecommendLess protects your attention in two ways. First, it adds a deliberate pause before every supported site. Then, if you continue, it removes the feeds and recommendations that pull you in while keeping searches, messages, subscriptions, profiles, and chosen content usable.

On supported sites, RecommendLess can:

  • replace YouTube Home with Subscriptions and remove Shorts, related videos, autoplay, and Explore;
  • keep X / Twitter on Following while removing For You, trends, suggestions, and immersive video;
  • remove Instagram Feed, Reels, and Explore while keeping messages, search, notifications, and profiles;
  • remove distracting feeds and recommendation rails on LinkedIn, Pikabu, and Reddit;
  • add a deliberate entry pause to Facebook, TikTok, Threads, Twitch, Tumblr, and Pinterest.
Every supported site starts with the recommended blocks enabled. Open the toolbar popup to configure each understandable block separately. Changing any block setting requires one five-second wait per popup session.

RecommendLess requires a paid License after a 14-day Trial. Paddle collects a payment method before the Trial starts and shows the renewal terms before confirmation. The extension is Inert until a Trial or License is active.

The extension needs access to supported websites to remove or redirect distracting parts in your browser. That work happens locally. It sends RecommendLess only a random installation identifier and License key for entitlement validation; it does not send the pages or URLs you visit, searches, messages, posts, videos, watch history, time spent browsing, or the page elements it removes.

Is RecommendLess 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.

RecommendLess requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

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.

RecommendLess is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
