Hide Profile is a free, open-source Chrome extension that takes profile pictures out of your social feeds, so you judge the idea, not the face behind it.<h3>Why</h3>Faces anchor how we read. The same words land differently under a famous face, a familiar one, or a stranger's. Hide Profile removes that bias with one click.<h3>What it does</h3><ul><li>Three styles: Blur, Hide (neutral placeholder), or Replace every avatar with one of 7 presets or your own image</li><li>Reveal on hover: peek at the real picture whenever you want</li><li>Smart detection: catches small, round avatars that site rules miss, so it keeps working after redesigns</li><li>Works where you scroll: X, LinkedIn, Peerlist, YouTube (channel avatars and video thumbnails), GitHub, Reddit, Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Bluesky, DEV and Medium</li><li>Per-site toggles, plus Alt+Shift+H to switch everything on or off</li></ul><h3>Shield (optional)</h3><ul><li>Clean language: masks swear words in English, Hinglish and Hindi, including look-alikes like f*ck and sh1t</li><li>Blur media: post images, thumbnails and videos stay blurred until you hover</li></ul><h3>Private by design</h3>Zero network requests, zero analytics, zero dependencies, and just one permission (storage). Everything stays in your browser.<h3>How it works</h3>The page is never rewritten. Avatars get a data attribute and one injected stylesheet does the rest, applied before paint, so there's no flash of the real photo and it never fights React. A MutationObserver keeps up with infinite scroll.<h3>Install</h3>Clone the repo, open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode and click Load unpacked. Works in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc and other Chromium browsers.Contributions welcome: adding a new site is a one-line PR.

<h3>Codex Analytics Ledger</h3>
Codex Analytics Ledger is a privacy-first, local-only dashboard designed to provide insights into your usage of Codex. It meticulously tracks threads, model usage, runtime, token consumption, and offers API-equivalent cost estimations with task-level details. The primary goal is to allow users to understand their Codex expenditure without sending any data externally. The application reads Codex state directly from the local machine, ensuring no prompts or content are transmitted to any analytics service. It also includes scripts to disable Next.js telemetry and bind the server to localhost for enhanced privacy.
Key Features:
<ul>
<li>Tracks threads across local Codex projects.</li>
<li>Analyzes model and reasoning effort per thread and task.</li>
<li>Displays last-updated time, active duration, and wall-clock duration.</li>
<li>Reports input, cached-input, output, reasoning-output, and total tokens.</li>
<li>Provides API-equivalent cost estimates with editable local pricing.</li>
<li>Shows per-task user input, model, runtime, tokens, and estimated cost.</li>
<li>Counts prompts, tool calls, shell commands, and web calls.</li>
<li>Offers flat or collapsible project-grouped views.</li>
<li>Supports sorting by recent, cost, token, and runtime.</li>
<li>Includes light and dark themes with saved preferences.</li>
<li>Aggregates model performance metrics.</li>
</ul>
The project emphasizes a strong privacy and security model, operating entirely locally. It uses read-only access to SQLite databases and avoids writing to Codex state or session files. Standard scripts are configured to listen only on 127.0.0.1 and disable telemetry. There are no external SDKs, hosted databases, or API key requirements.
Requirements:
<ul>
<li>Node.js 24 or newer.</li>
<li>A local Codex installation with a readable CODEX_HOME directory.</li>
<li>Compatibility with Windows, macOS, or Linux.</li>
</ul>
