Install XpressPurge

XpressPurge is built first for Chromium-based browsers. A Firefox package can also be provided for testing or manual installs.

Supported target browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Brave
• Microsoft Edge
• Firefox

For normal users, install XpressPurge from the official browser-store listing for your browser.

1. Open the XpressPurge listing for your browser.
2. Click Add to Chrome, Add to Brave, Get, or the equivalent install button.
3. Confirm the browser permission prompt.
4. Pin XpressPurge to your browser toolbar so the popup is easy to reach.
5. Open https://x.com/home.

Do not install a development build unless support specifically asks you to test one.

This section is only for testers, early beta users, or support cases.

If you are using the public browser-store version, skip this section.

Chrome, Brave, or Edge Beta Build

Use this only when XpressPurge support gives you an unpacked test build.

1. Download and unzip the test build from the official support link.
2. Open your browser's extensions page:
   • Chrome: chrome://extensions
   • Brave: brave://extensions
   • Edge: edge://extensions
3. Turn on Developer mode.
4. Click Load unpacked.
5. Select the folder that contains manifest.json.
6. Confirm that XpressPurge appears in the extension list.
7. Pin the extension in the toolbar.
8. Open https://x.com/home.

If Chrome says it cannot find the manifest file, you selected the wrong folder. Select the folder that directly contains manifest.json.

Firefox Beta Build

Use this only when XpressPurge support gives you a Firefox test build.

1. Download and unzip the Firefox test build from the official support link.
2. Open about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox.
3. Click Load Temporary Add-on.
4. Select the manifest.json file inside the test build folder.
5. Open https://x.com/home.

Temporary Firefox add-ons are removed when Firefox restarts.

XpressPurge requests these permissions:

• Storage: saves your settings, rules, presets, local license state, and local extension data.
• Alarms: supports scheduled extension tasks such as snooze expiry.
• x.com and twitter.com access: lets the content script read visible posts on X and apply your filtering rules.

XpressPurge does not post, like, follow, repost, or send messages on your behalf.

After installation:

1. Open https://x.com/home.
2. Open the XpressPurge toolbar popup.
3. Make sure Filtering is On.
4. Open Options.
5. Run the onboarding flow if it appears, or create your first rule manually.
6. Create your first preset when you want grouped rule toggles.
7. Use the flame button on a post to create quick account or keyword rules.
