What is Simplify Mastodon?
Mastodon is an open-source, decentralized social network that provides a unique alternative to centralized platforms. This free browser extension enhances the Mastodon web experience by streamlining the interface and prioritizing content consumption. The extension centers posts within a card-like layout, dimming extraneous actions until hovered over, and minimizing the title bar to maximize vertical space. The compose and search functions are conveniently placed on the right, accessible via a compact icon when not in use. Similarly, the navigation menu on the left can be minimized to icons, reducing clutter. The extension also selectively hides features deemed less essential, such as Local, Federated, Favorites, Bookmarks, and Lists, while allowing for potential future customization. This extension is compatible with the top 300 Mastodon servers, making it a versatile tool for enhancing the Mastodon experience across a wide range of instances
