The Javascript API is unrestricted at the moment so that is possible right now. That's why we make it a point to warn people to only install JS extensions from a trusted source right now, e.g. https://extensions.insightbrows

I think the most interesting idea here is that of Goggles, filters like - trusted product reviews - left biased media/right biased media - my cooking sites. This is something we've been doing for a while in Insight (YC W19) ( http

We’ve tried to make it as powerful as the platform allows — there are limitations to how large iOS allows the blocklist to be. What other features from Adblockers are you missing with Insight that would be helpful?

Yes, we're very excited to work with extension developers! But there's 2 important things to consider: Apple's terms clearly don't allow us building a store within the app (Fortnite vs. Apple) so we're not going to

Thanks for the feedback, we've been hearing occasionally about iOS shortcuts and are looking into how to best integrate them. I'd love to hear some workflow examples of things you'd automate that involve the browser. That wou

Thank you! Extensions are either no-code or use vanilla Javascript. For no-code extensions, the logic is represented in simple base64 encoded JSON. For extensions that use Javascript, it's a very simple model where a script is injected

For those of you on iOS, you can also disable AMP in Kiwi Browser ( https://kiwibrowser.com/features/ ). But if you're looking for something more generally extensible to work around AMP and other things that make th

I see, that’s cool but I was referencing something different — That it was important for users to quickly recognize the publisher on the search result page itself. They develop more trust with some sources than others. I wasn’t able to disc

Thought it'd be appropriate to plug what we're working on here. We're a YC company (W19) are building an iOS browser that's extensible. You can build "extensions" to inject your own JS into pages if they match

Reddit has probably the strongest network effect of any community product so it’s surprising and good that they still have an API that enables stuff like this.

Hi, blog post OP here. While Reddit has its own challenges, it proven quite resilient to this particular form of content quality drop. We found that this is such a common workflow with our first few users that we've built it in as a de

As strange a move as this may seem outside of India, the culture’s huge focus on competitive exams means this is: 1. A very cheap way for them to build trust with a whole generation at a time. 2. A good way to leverage their brand and distr
