Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Motivation

Thanks to "Share" buttons that are heavily present on the web, social networks can track what you do on the websites you visit, provided these websites have such social buttons. When a page you browse has, for example, a "Share on Facebook" button, then the button can gather some data about your browsing on that page and send it directly to Facebook! This is the kind of tracking this extension is all about: stop the social networks from tracking you when you you're not even browsing them.

Tracking your browsing left aside, the assets which need to be downloaded for the sake of these "Share" buttons are quite heavy. Downloading such assets considerably increase the load time of the pages you visit when those pages have "Share" buttons. So disabling the tracking also leads you to improved load times of the pages you love :) Nice, isn't it?

This browser extension makes it best of both worlds: prevent social networks from tracking your activity on the web, but still let you see your wall, your tweets when you browse the social networks directly. Social networks won't be able to track you unless you browse their own pages; on the rest of the web, you'll be free from their tracking.

But there is obviously a catch to all this: "Share" buttons and other social features probably won't work anymore on the websites you browse; social things will break.

This extension currently prevents you from being tracked by:

  • Facebook
  • Twitter

Inspiration
