Pin a site: filter to every search. One key cycles between Reddit, GitHub, Stack Overflow & more on Google, Bing & DuckDuckGo. Tired of trawling SEO-blog spam to find a real answer? Tack pins a `site:` filter — or any other search operator — to every query you run on search engines. Define one profile (e.g. site:reddit.com), or several (Reddit, GitHub, Stack Overflow, your company docs), and toggle between them with a single keypress. Tack rewrites the URL before the results page loads, so you get filtered results immediately — no waiting, no manual typing. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHY USE TACK? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✓ Skip the SEO sludge — every search defaults to high-signal sites you trust ✓ Multiple named profiles, synced across Chrome installs ✓ Cycle between profiles with a keyboard shortcut (no clicks required) ✓ Toggle the filter off per-tab when you DO want broad results ✓ Sticky on/off — if you turn it off, new tabs honor that ✓ Silent mode hides all UI; the filter just runs quietly ✓ Bonus: hides sponsored ads on Google ✓ 100% local — no servers, no tracking, no analytics ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW IT WORKS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. Install Tack and open the options page. 2. Edit or add profiles. Each profile is a friendly name + a modifier: • Reddit → site:reddit.com • GitHub → site:github.com • Stack Overflow → site:stackoverflow.com • PDFs only → filetype:pdf • No Pinterest → -site:pinterest.com • Tutorials → inurl:tutorial 3. Pick one profile as Default. 4. Search anywhere — Tack appends the modifier and the results page is already filtered. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Tack has two shortcut systems for maximum flexibility: CHROME-MANAGED (work everywhere in Chrome): • Toggle filter — default Alt+Shift+F • Apply filter — your choice • Show all results — your choice • Cycle to next profile — your choice • Cycle to previous profile — your choice • Show / hide the bar — your choice (Silent mode) IN-PAGE KEYBINDINGS (any combo, including bare Shift+letter): Chrome's command API doesn't allow bare Shift shortcuts. Tack adds a second listener on search pages so you can bind shortcuts like Shift+Q or even a single letter. Set them from the options page. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRIVACY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Tack runs entirely on your machine. There is no remote server, no telemetry, no analytics. Your profiles sync between your own Chrome installs via Chrome's built-in chrome.storage.sync, encrypted by Google the same way your bookmarks are. Tack only requests access to the search-engine domains it actually rewrites queries on. It never sees pages outside those domains. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ OPEN SOURCE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Read the code, file issues, or contribute at: https://github.com/eshin087/Tack
