A harm-reduction Chrome extension that quiets down your Instagram feed so you can scroll with intention. Less autopilot doomscroll, more regulated nervous system.
Most of what makes Instagram hard to leave isn't the content — it's the coalition of highly optimized algorithms and sophisticated design patterns that keep you scrolling long after you meant to.
BETTERFEED turns those down. It runs in your browser, on the page, and never sees your data. You stay in control; your feed stops yelling.
Removes all color from the page. Stories, posts, chrome — every pixel. Color is the cheapest dopamine on the internet; this takes it off the menu.
Photos & videos render blurred until you click to reveal one, post by post. A tiny pause between you and the next image — usually enough to decide you didn't need it.
Videos sit still until you press play. No motion in your peripheral vision, no Reels-shaped wormhole opening up while you were trying to check one message.
