Country Hider for X is a browser extension by Max Life Mindset. This page explains what it does with data. Short version: nothing about you ever leaves your browser, except requests to x.com that X itself would make.
What the extension does
On x.com it looks up each post author’s public “Account based in” information (the same thing X shows on a profile’s “About this account” page), shows that country next to their name, and hides posts from the countries and regions you choose.
Data we collect
None. The extension has no servers, no analytics, no tracking, and no ads. We never receive, see, sell, or share any of your data.
Data stored on your device
To work, the extension keeps a few things in your browser’s local extension storage. They never leave your computer and are deleted when you remove the extension:
- Your list of hidden countries and regions, and the “Show everything” setting.
- A cache of X handles and their public “Account based in” country, kept up to 30 days so the same account isn’t looked up twice.
- A running count of how many posts have been hidden.
Network requests
The extension only talks to X. It asks x.com for an account’s public location using your existing logged-in X session in the browser, exactly as the X website does when you open “About this account.” Flag images load from X’s own image server (abs-0.twimg.com). No request goes anywhere else.
Permissions
- Storage: saves your settings and the cache described above, on your device.
- Access to x.com: needed to show country labels and hide posts on X pages.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
