Keep what you came for. Fade the rest.

Write, for a site, what you want to see there, or what to remove. Everything else on the page fades out, live, including what loads as you scroll. Like an ad blocker, for anything you name.

Pick a rule. Pointing at a faded item shows it again, as on a real page.

How it works

Say it once, per site

Sift works on the sites you give a rule. The rule stays: every visit, every page of the site, everything that loads later.

  1. Write the rule

    On a site, click Sift's button and write what to keep or remove, in your own words. Chrome asks you to let Sift see that one site.

  2. Watch it sift

    Sift finds the page's items (videos, stories, posts, comments) and asks about them, those on screen first. The ones being decided get a thin outline.

  3. Read what's left

    What the rule sends away fades out and blurs, right where it was, so the page keeps its layout. Point at it to read it anyway.

Rules

In your words, not filter lists

Keep a topic

"Only videos about bushcraft" on a video site. "Anything about programming" on a news aggregator. Everything else fades.

Remove a kind of post

"Remove self-promotion" on a professional network: the bragging and selling fade, whole posts at a time; the rest stays.

Leave parts alone

"Keep programming, leave the comments alone": the stories are filtered, the discussion under them isn't. Sift tells you how it read your rule.

Change it any time

Edit the rule in the popup, pause it on one page, or switch it off in the options. Each site has its own rule.

Privacy

Who decides, and what they see

Chrome's built-in AI

By default, Gemini Nano decides, in Chrome, on your computer. Sift then makes no network requests at all.

Or a decision model

If you'd rather, a Jev-like decision model at an address you choose, with your key. It gets the rule, where an item sits and its text, nothing else.

Nothing to track

No account, no analytics, no ads. What Sift remembers stays in your browser. This site sets no cookies and runs no scripts.

Questions

Good to know

Which sites does it work on?

Most sites made of lists: video sites, news aggregators, social feeds, search results, comment threads. Sift finds repeating items with links on any page, with no special code for any site.

Does it delete or block anything?

No. Faded items stay in place and stay clickable; pointing at one shows it. Sift never removes anything from the page and never stops a site from loading.

How fast is it?

With Chrome's built-in AI, about half a second an item, the items on screen first, eight at a time. What Sift decided once is remembered, so coming back is instant.

What does it need?

Desktop Chrome 138 or newer. The built-in AI needs a graphics card with more than 4 GB of memory or 16 GB of RAM, and about 4 GB of disk for the model, which Chrome downloads once.

What is a decision model?

A small model trained to choose one option from a short task, such as Together's Tev1, inspired by Jev. Sift asks it, for each item, whether to keep it or fade it under your rule.

When can I install it?
