Introduction

Infinite scrolling can be distracting and mentally exhausting, especially when you just want to catch up and move on.

I built a lightweight, open‑source browser extension that allows users to stop infinite scrolling on X by preventing additional background content from loading.

The extension

  • Works entirely on the client side
  • Does not modify or inject content
  • Collects no data
  • Has no tracking or analytics
