## What is Curb?

Curb is a Safari extension that hides the algorithmic home feeds on the sites you still need — so you can search, subscribe, and message without getting pulled into the scroll.

WHAT CURB BLOCKS
• YouTube — home recommendations feed
• Reddit — Home, Popular, and r/all
• LinkedIn — home newsfeed
• X (Twitter) — For You timeline
• Instagram — home feed and a optional toggle to hide the Search/Explore page feed/grid  (Search stays on and works normally when feed is hidden)
• Facebook — news feed

WHAT STAYS WORKING
Search, subscriptions, playlists, specific subreddits, messaging, profiles, DMs, and any page you open directly all work normally. Same account, same Safari tab — minus the scroll trap.

ZERO FLASH
Curb loads blocking rules before the page paints, so the feed never appears — not even for a split second.

A SIMPLE GUIDE
Where the feed was, Curb can show a short on-page guide pointing you to what still works on that site. Toggle it per site in the Safari toolbar popup.

YOU STAY IN CONTROL
One switch per site. Turn any platform on or off anytime from Safari’s toolbar — no digging through settings.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts. No servers. No analytics. No tracking. Everything runs on your device. App Store privacy label: Data Not Collected.

PAY ONCE — EVERYTHING INCLUDED
One purchase unlocks all six platforms. No in-app purchases. No subscriptions. No free trial tricks.

IMPORTANT
Curb works in Safari on youtube.com, reddit.com, instagram.com, facebook.com, linkedin.com, and x.com — not inside the native YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, or other apps. Apple does not allow extensions to modify other apps. 

Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
