Tolerance

Tolerance is a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that filters social media feeds instead of blocking them. An AI model scores each post or video for how hard it grabs attention compared with how much it gives back, and posts above your threshold are blurred. The rest of the feed stays as it is.

It works on Reddit (new and old), YouTube, X/Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Filtering gets stricter the longer you spend on social media each day: the first stretch is left alone, and later phases blur more, so the feed gets less engaging as a session goes on.

Features:

• AI scoring of every post, video or tweet in the feed
• Blur that gets stricter over a session, with a single strictness slider or per-phase fine-tuning
• Trusted people and channels stay unblurred; YouTube subscriptions are recognized automatically
• "Topics to hide" described in your own words
• Sponsored posts and ads blurred on every supported site
• YouTube: option to hide videos instead of blurring them, and an option to hide Shorts entirely (Shorts links open in the normal player)
• Facebook: Reels hidden from the feed
• Search results and messages are left alone

Usage data such as time on site and time spent on each post is stored only on your device. Post content is sent to an AI provider for scoring and is not stored on Tolerance's servers.

Free to use with a monthly scoring allowance and no account. Pro raises the limit, or you can use your own OpenRouter or OpenAI-compatible API key. Open source under the AGPL-3.0. An Android app covering TikTok, X and YouTube is in beta.
