Linkless is a free Chrome add-on developed by Geoff Giller. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory.

The main purpose of Linkless is to eliminate the distraction caused by excessive links while reading articles on websites like Wikipedia. Often, when browsing through a Wikipedia article, there are numerous links that entice readers to click and explore related topics. However, these links can divert attention from the original article and lead users down a rabbit hole of unrelated information.

Linkless addresses this issue by removing the hyperlinks, allowing users to focus solely on the content they initially intended to read. While initially designed for Wikipedia, this extension can be used on any website that contains distracting links.

With Linkless, users can enhance their reading experience by eliminating the temptation to click on irrelevant links, making it easier to stay focused and engaged with the primary content.
