The web isn't neutral. It's designed to nudge you.

Manipulation is everywhere.

A 2020 study of 240 popular apps found 95% used at least one manipulative design pattern, and the average app used at least seven different types.

Knowing isn’t enough.

People can often recognise manipulative design and still get influenced by it. Help has to come at the moment of decision.

The tools changed.

Chrome disabled Manifest V2 extensions in 2025 and removed the remaining ones, including the full uBlock Origin, from the Chrome Web Store on 31 August 2026.

It watches the page, not you.

  1. Blocks the obvious junk.

    Ads and trackers blocked, cookie banners actually rejected, tracking parameters stripped from links.

  2. Spots the sneaky stuff.

    Recognises manipulative patterns — fake urgency, confirmshaming, buried opt-outs — on your device.

  3. Explains it, right then.

    A short plain-language note at the moment you’d normally get tricked. Nothing about your browsing leaves your browser.

What it will do.

  • Planned

    Ad and tracker blocking

    Built for Manifest V3 from day one, not retrofitted.

  • Planned

    Real cookie rejection

    Says no on your behalf instead of just hiding the banner.

  • Planned

    Link cleaning

    Strips UTM, fbclid, gclid and tracking pings out of links.

  • Planned

    Dark-pattern explainer

    Names the trick as it happens. This is the difference.

  • Planned

    Feed filtering

    Throw out posts and topics you do not want to see.

  • Planned

    Paste protection

    Warns you about fake "verify you’re human" commands.

  • Planned

    One-click un-break

    Blocking sometimes breaks a page. Undo it instantly.

  • Planned

    Mindful friction

    Optional pause before the sites that eat your evening.

We build a tool that catches manipulation. So this site doesn't use any.

  • No manipulative cookie banners, ever. Our consent prompt gives Accept and Reject equal weight, and Google Analytics loads only if you say yes.

  • No dark patterns. Nothing on this site is designed to trick you into a click you did not mean.

  • No fake urgency or countdown timers. There is no deadline, because there is no deadline.

  • No pre-checked marketing opt-ins. Joining the waitlist is the only opt-in, and you confirm it by email.

See how our consent prompt works

Free at its core.

Free

Blocking, real cookie rejection, link cleaning, and the core dark-pattern explainer. The parts that protect you are not the paid parts.

Pro

Planned

Advanced protections and extras. Pricing isn't set. Early-access members get a say.

Questions, answered straight.

Is this just another ad blocker?

No. Blocking is the easy part and plenty of tools do it well. The difference is the explainer: when a page tries to manipulate you, the extension names the trick in plain language, right where it happens.

Who is building this?

Mavaria, a software studio from Slovakia (mavaria.sk). We build our own products and share what we learn along the way.

Does it send my browsing data anywhere?

No. The analysis runs on your device. Nothing about the pages you visit leaves your browser.

Which browsers?

Chrome first. Others are planned, and waitlist members will hear which ones as soon as we commit to them.

When does it launch?

Join the waitlist and you will get one email when it does. That is the only email you will get before launch.

Will it break websites?

Sometimes blocking does. That is true of every blocker, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. A one-click "un-break this site" is built in.

Can it make me anonymous?

No. It reduces tracking. Real anonymity needs far more than a browser extension, and we will not promise you more than we can deliver.

Why does this site ask about analytics?

Because Google Analytics needs cookies, and cookies need your permission. Until you say yes, this site runs no analytics at all — and saying no is exactly one click, the same as saying yes.

Be first to throw it all out.

One email when we launch. No countdown, no "only 3 spots left" — there are no spots, just a list.

Can I throw this?

Take back your browser. Throw out everything the web put there without your permission.

Google Analytics runs only if you say yes.
