A browser extension for Chrome and Firefox to hide stars, followers, watchers, sponsors, and other stats on GitHub

I don't want my heart to be disturbed by the "±", especially during coding and research.

Choose one of the following options.

• Visit Chrome Web Store
• Download the browser-specific zip archive from the release page (e.g., depop-x.x.x-chrome.zip or depop-x.x.x-firefox.zip) and load it:
  • Chrome: chrome://extensions/
  • Firefox: about:debugging -> "This Firefox" -> "Load Temporary Add-on"
• Download the unstable zip archive from the uploaded artifacts. Use it in the same way as stable.
• Run the build task and load the "./dist" folder as an unpacked extension

By default, stars are hidden as much as possible. You can enable/disable the extension and toggle optional features via the popup in your browser toolbar.

• User
• Repository index
• Repository detail
• Pinned Repositories
• Sponsors
• Sponsoring
• Achievements
• Highlights

• GitHub Readme Stats

While digging into this feature, I noticed that rentzsch/unpopular exists.
The approach looks simple and reasonable to me; it just applies CSS without any JavaScript.
However, I started this project for the following reasons:

• Applying only CSS doesn't work with the current GitHub WebUI
• There has been no activity for 8 years
• It uses Manifest V2. Google will disable it with Manifest V3.

You can use CSS filters(uBlock Origin / Stylus) for simple patterns, but they are hard to maintain for some dynamic components:

• Selectors vary across pages and change frequently.
• MV3 blockers cannot target elements by their display text (e.g., XPath text()). This makes it complex to hide sections that lack unique attributes.
