⚠ IssueUnderservedLive
Modern web is enshittified with popups, cookie banners, and dark-pattern clutter that no extension can cleanly fix
Every website now has GDPR banners, newsletter popups, chat widgets, AI overviews, and recommendation feeds layered over the actual content. uBlock blocks ads but can't fix site layout. CSS overrides break constantly. Custom userscripts require JS knowledge. No AI-powered extension lets a non-technical user say 'remove this junk' and have it stick across sessions and site updates.

Gap Assessment
UnderservedExisting solutions leave gaps
Tweeks (YC W25) launched Nov 2025 as an AI-powered userscript manager but is very early, token-gated, and has no persistence layer. Wide open for a product with real sync and offline execution.
