de·shit·ti·fy
To reverse the hostile, profit-driven degradation of a digital product or service.
Their web, Your web
The web is getting worse on purpose. Products that once served you are being redesigned to keep you scrolling, harvest your data, and bury you in hostile features, all to squeeze out more profit at your expense. You pay the price for that with your time and privacy.
Deshittify puts you back in control. It allows you to turn off hostile features, distractions, and engagement traps from the sites you use, giving you a cleaner web that helps you do what you came for. You decide what stays and goes, site by site.
