This browser extension enhances the experience on condenser-based web sites by providing post highlighting and other information to help the curator decide where to spend their time, attention, and voting power.
Specifically, it highlights posts that are promoted by burning Steem Dollars (SBD) or those that burn STEEM, SBD, and SP beneficiary rewards by directing them to the @null account. The extension also lets the curator control the visibility of resteemed posts in any Steem account's feed and blog pages, and it provides a collection of other information that can help with reader and curator decisions about where to spend attention and voting power.
- Highlights posts that were promoted by burning SBD tokens.
- Highlights posts that have beneficiary rewards set to direct rewards to the @null account.
- Color gradients in the highlighting help to identify promotion costs and beneficiary settings at a glance.
- Enables toggling of resteem visibility
- Displays voting power in the Profile menu
- Provides a curator overlay in Steem feeds with information about a post, author, and the author's follower network.
- Provides additional detailed information and visuals inside the Steem post page
- Works on Steemit.com and other Steem-based sites using the Condenser front end.
This functionality helps web site visitors to identify posts that may have received artificial promotion or where rewards are being deliberately burned.
