Good job! I use Twitter Demetricator who is based on this very principle and I have found the user experience greatly improved.

Sometimes removing features is the best thing you can do.

Does it work in Firefox/Android?
I don't mind notifications on the desktop, on mobile it's worse for me

Cool, I might make use of that for Twitter too.

It's just for Chrome / Firefox on a desktop right now. I didn't know it was possible to create stuff for Android too, I might take a look at how the Demetricator does it.

It should also work on Firefox for Android. The only thing that you might need to change is to handle mobile version of Dev.to layout, and change manifest file a bit to be compatible with Firefox for Android (if it is not already).

Can you then publish your extension to Firefox and Chrome extension stores?

I wasn't sure too many people would actually use it, but I'm happy to look into publishing it :)
