Minimal is a browser extension that offers users a minimal and less attention-grabbing internet experience. Developed by AUPYA, this free Chrome extension aims to make the internet a tool rather than a trap.

Driven by core values, Minimal believes that users should actively make choices for themselves and easily find the content they are searching for, rather than being subjected to what a platform wants them to see. The extension encourages users to focus on the inner quality of services provided by a platform, rather than being swayed by external factors.

Minimal is an open-source project, allowing users to check the code and contribute to its development. It is fully transparent about its functionality and does not collect any user data.

Upon installation, Minimal requires permissions to access websites in order to add the necessary stylesheets and scripts for its functioning. This requirement is intentional, as Minimal encourages users to be cautious about granting permissions. The extension does not have any effect on the websites themselves, but rather allows users to customize their browsing experience.

If users encounter any issues while using Minimal, they can create a new issue on the official GitLab page. Additionally, if there are specific websites where users believe Minimal should take action, they can create a ticket to bring it to the attention of the developers.

Please note that as an experimental extension for chromium-based browsers, Minimal may not work properly in all cases. Users are encouraged to report any issues they encounter to help improve the extension.
