Anonymous user feedback: "It didn't catch all of my shopping sites, only amazon and etsy."
Our answer: Go to settings (right click on Intent icon in browser bar) and edit groups by dragging sites into the groups you want (or adding groups!)

Anonymous user feedback: "The counter could be placed at the bottom corner as in the case of videos else it becomes annoying."
Solution: You can change the placement of the counter! Scroll over the counter (left photo) then choose what you want (right photo).

Happy to announce my latest project: Twitter Demetricator! Follower, like, notification counts (and many more) all disappear. Try out Twitter without the numbers and see what happens when you can no longer judge yourself or others in metric terms. bengrosser.com/projects/twit…

My Twitter right now is flickering like an old TV set. It's exactly how I want it: usable, but certainly not fun :)
(I'm experimenting with ways to gracefully degrade the UI as a deterrent to prolonged usage. Part of my browsewithintent.com project.)

The problem: Facebook offers many people truly valuable services. But engaging just with the things you find truly valuable would require 20 – 40 min/week, and one or two visits.
