Grok Clean – Hide "For You" Highlights & Ads Below Prompt Bar

A tiny Chrome extension that removes the promotional "For You" section (news/highlight cards) and related upsell elements that appear below the chat input bar on https://grok.com.

https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5LWNvcHk_4920161a-1f9c-4704-93a2-768302a0ce01

Tested on Chrome / Edge (Manifest V3).

Features

• Hides the "For You" curated highlights feed
• Removes linked news/story cards
• Uses MutationObserver + periodic cleanup to handle React SPA updates
• Keeps the feature buttons (DeepSearch, Imagine, etc.) by default — optional aggressive mode available in code

Installation (Load as Unpacked Extension)

Follow these steps to install from this gist:

1. Download the files

   • Option A (easiest – one click):

     • Go to the Raw view of each file:
       • manifest.json (raw)
       • content.js (raw)
     • Right-click → Save As (or Ctrl+S) each file
     • Save both files into a new empty folder on your computer (e.g. C:\Extensions\grok-clean or ~/grok-clean)

   • Option B (clone the whole gist via git – recommended if you want updates later):

     git clone https://gist.github.com/coolaj86/69ef7a810c8fd5c04aed49dde6338f31.git ./grok-clean
     cd ./grok-clean/

     (The folder will contain manifest.json and content.js)

2. Open Chrome Extensions page

   • In Chrome, paste this URL into the address bar and press Enter: chrome://extensions/

3. Enable Developer mode

   • In the top-right corner, toggle the switch labeled Developer mode to ON

4. Load the extension

   • Click the button that appears: Load unpacked
   • Navigate to and select the folder you created in step 1 (the one containing manifest.json and content.js)
   • Click Select Folder / Open

5. Done!

   • The extension should now appear in your list as "Grok Clean - Hide Prompt Bar Ads/Upsells"
   • Go to https://grok.com, start a new chat — the "For You" section and cards should be gone

Updating the Extension

• If you used git: run git pull in the folder, then go back to chrome://extensions/, find this extension, and click the Reload button (circular arrow icon).
• If you downloaded files manually: replace the old files with newer ones, then reload the extension the same way.

Optional: Make it more aggressive

Open content.js and uncomment the block under // === Option A: if you also want to hide the button row (DeepSearch, Imagine, Pick Personas, Voice Chat).

Troubleshooting

• Nothing happens? → Refresh grok.com or reload the extension
• Hides too much? → Edit selectors in content.js and reload
• Icons missing? → The extension works without them; icons are optional (you can ignore the warning)

content.js

function hideForYou() {
   document.querySelectorAll("h2").forEach((h) => {
      if (h.textContent.trim().toLowerCase().includes("for you")) {
         let box = h.closest(".w-full");
         if (box) box.remove();
      }
   });
}

// Run many times quickly at the beginning (React is slow sometimes)
const timer = setInterval(hideForYou, 50);

setTimeout(() => {
   clearInterval(timer);
}, 15000); // stop after 15 seconds

// Keep an eye out forever in case something re-appears
setInterval(hideForYou, 1000);
