Herbivore: Hide Meat & Dairy While You Shop

Going veggie or vegan? Hides meat, fish (and dairy in Vegan mode) on UK supermarket sites. A food helper, not a guarantee.

Blurs or hides meat and fish on UK supermarket websites as you shop, plus dairy, eggs and honey in Strictly Vegan mode, so the food you're avoiding isn't in front of you. Going veggie or vegan is hardest in the weekly shop, scrolling past all the meat. Herbivore takes the temptation away. So many grocery sites have different filtering options - so I wanted to have a browser-level filter so I don't constantly have to select 'Vegetarian' filters. It's absolutely not perfect - but it's better than nothing. All it does is scan titles or icons, as these sorts of sites do not have public APIs. WHY I MADE IT I was trying to go vegetarian and kept getting tempted by the meat while shopping online, so I made this. It's a personal, completely vibe-coded project, so expect the odd rough edge, and please report anything it gets wrong. FEATURES • Blurs product photos (or hides products completely) that aren't vegetarian or vegan • Vegetarian and Strictly Vegan modes, each with its own saved list, so a veggie and a vegan can share one computer • "Check label" warnings for things it can't be sure about: gelatine sweets, wine and beer, cheeses that may use animal rennet, dark chocolate • Uses the shop's own vegetarian and vegan symbols where the shop shows them • Learns from you: flag anything it missed, show anything it filtered by mistake, or block a keyword everywhere • Household items (tissues, cleaning, toiletries, pet food) are left alone: it's a food filter • Help & memory page with all your saved items, plus backup export and import WORKS WITH Runs automatically on the major UK supermarket websites. The full list is on the project page (link below). On any other online shop, click the toolbar icon to filter that page, and choose "Always run on this site" if you like. Herbivore is not affiliated with any shop. HOW TO USE 1. Install, then choose Vegetarian or Strictly Vegan, and Blur or Hide, on the welcome page 2. Shop as normal on a supported site: matching products are blurred or hidden as you scroll 3. Something slipped through? Hover over it and click "Not Veggie" / "Not Vegan" 4. Something filtered that's fine? Click "Show". A warning that's fine? Click "Fine" 5. Pin the toolbar icon to open Help & your saved items at any time A HELPER, NOT A GUARANTEE Herbivore decides from product names and the shop's own symbols, so it can miss things or filter things that are fine. It is not, and probably can never, be perfect - but it's better than nothing, at least for me. Animal ingredients that aren't in the name (gelatine in sweets, animal rennet in cheese, carmine/E120) may not be caught. Always check the ingredients and the "Suitable for vegetarians/vegans" label, especially if you have an allergy. PRIVACY No account, no tracking, no data sent anywhere. Your choices and saved items stay in your browser, and you can export or delete them from the Help & memory page. PERMISSIONS • "Read and change your data on" the supported supermarket sites: needed to read product names on the page you're viewing and blur or hide the matching ones. Nothing is sent anywhere. • Other sites: Herbivore only gets access when you click its icon on that tab, or when you choose "Always run on this site" and approve Chrome's prompt for that one site.
