Validating idea: Chrome extension to fix annoying website defaults

Hey makers! 👋

Validating an idea for a Chrome extension that fixes the web's most frustrating defaults:

The Problem:

  • Reddit always defaults to "Best" sorting instead of "New"
  • YouTube's sidebar creates endless distraction rabbit holes
  • Promoted posts designed to look like real content
  • Sites that don't remember your preferences

The Solution:
Simple Chrome extension that automatically:

  • Sets your preferred sorting on Reddit/other sites
  • Hides distracting elements on YouTube
  • Blocks promoted content that mimics real posts
  • Remembers your preferences across sessions

Questions for validation:

  1. What website defaults annoy you most?
  2. Would you use a tool that fixed these automatically?
  3. What would you pay for this ($0, $3/month, $5/month)?

Looking for honest feedback - is this a real problem worth solving?
