Haiilo Enhancer

A browser extension for a calmer, more useful Haiilo experience — hide unwanted content, improve navigation, and customize the interface.

Haiilo Enhancer adds small, local quality-of-life improvements directly in your browser. It does not send data to external services.

✨ Features

• 🔇 Hide unwanted content
  Right-click users to mute their posts and comments temporarily or permanently; the popup shows hidden-item counts and details.
• 💬 Make the interface work your way
  Keep the messenger open, resize it, center the page in the remaining space, automatically expand Workspaces and Pages, auto-scroll timelines, and auto-load new updates when idle.
• 🛠️ Fix everyday Haiilo friction
  Improve mentions, profile popups, wiki controls, mobile breadcrumbs, and the rich-text toolbar; add a Markdown shortcut toolbar and chat quote-reply.
• 🎨 Improve readability
  Customize group-chat avatars, sort reactions, show reaction counts, and choose date/time formats.
• 📅 Export events
  Add calendar actions for Google Calendar, Outlook.com, Yahoo Calendar, and standard ICS files.
• 🌐 Fit your organization
  Support custom Haiilo domains and choose a per-domain homepage.
• 🌙 Themes and languages
  Use light, dark, or system themes and choose from multiple interface languages.
• 💾 Keep control of your data
  Export or import settings and muted users; optionally sync them through your browser account.

⚠️ Known limitations

• Haiilo is a dynamic web application, so UI selectors can occasionally change after Haiilo updates. Please report any issues if you encounter problems.
• Custom domains require explicit browser permission before the extension can run on them.
• In Chromium-based browsers, optional host permissions may remain visible in the browser's extension settings even after removing a custom domain from the extension. To remove them, you may need to remove and re-install the extension.

🔐 Permissions and privacy

Everything happens locally in your browser. Haiilo Enhancer stores all settings locally in your browser using extension storage. This includes muted users, display preferences, custom domains, and backup/restore data. The extension does not send your Haiilo content, muted users, or settings to any external service. If you enable the optional browser sync feature, your muted users and settings are synced via your browser account's built-in sync infrastructure — no third-party servers are involved.
