Could you build this?
Partial The browser extensions are straightforward DOM-manipulation scripts, but intercepting and modifying feeds inside native iOS apps (e.g. YouTube, Instagram) requires complex local VPN/proxy filtering or MDM configuration.
What it would actually take: The Chrome/Firefox extensions simply inject CSS and DOM MutationObservers to hide recommendation elements. The hard part is the iOS app: to modify third-party apps without blocking entire domains, it requires a local Network Extension (NEPacketTunnelProvider) acting as a MITM proxy to inspect and strip JSON feeds dynamically, which demands deep network protocol knowledge and Apple entitlement approvals.
