Presets

Presets are groups of rules that can be turned on or off together.

Use presets when you want different browsing modes, such as work focus, low-noise browsing, or topic-specific filtering.

A fresh local XpressPurge state does not include permanent default presets.

You create presets yourself in Options > Presets.

If you use the onboarding wizard, it can optionally bundle starter rules into a preset called Low-noise starter.

Use presets when:

• you want a group of rules to activate together;
• you want different setups for different browsing sessions;
• you want analytics grouped by rule category;
• you want quick toggles from the toolbar popup.

You do not need presets for every rule. Rules without preset assignment can remain globally active.

Add Rules to a Preset

Expanded preset with rules

Inside an expanded preset:

• Rules in this preset shows rules already grouped there.
• Add rules lets you search available rules and add them.

If you have many rules, use search to narrow the list.

Inside the expanded preset, click the remove button next to a rule under Rules in this preset.

Removing a rule from a preset does not delete the rule. It only removes that preset assignment.

You can turn presets on or off from:

• Options > Presets;
• the toolbar popup Presets subview.

In Options > Presets, you can:

• delete one preset with the trash button;
• select multiple presets;
• bulk delete selected presets.

Deleting a preset does not necessarily delete the rules themselves. It removes the preset group.

If all presets are deleted, XpressPurge shows an empty state explaining that presets can group rules together.

You can continue using rules without presets.
