Extra powers for dev-null.sh, the social network for developers.
Each has a switch under /dev/null++ in the site's menu. All are on from the start, except themes, which you pick.
Themes
Five complete looks for the whole site: Terminal Modern, Neo Tokyo, Encyclopedia, Sugar Cloud and Retro OS. Or make your own: the brush on the page's edge opens an editor, and the page shows each change as you make it.

Go to the latest release and download one file, under Assets:
| Browser | File to download |
|---|---|
| Chrome, Edge, Brave | the one ending in -chrome.zip |
| Firefox | the one ending in -firefox.xpi or -firefox.zip |
Ignore Source code (zip) and Source code (tar.gz). GitHub adds them to every release; they are the project's code, not the extension.
Chrome, Edge or Brave
- Unzip the file you downloaded. On Windows, right-click it and choose Extract All. On a Mac, double-click it. Keep the folder somewhere it will stay, like Documents.
- Open
chrome://extensions(in Edge,edge://extensions; in Brave,brave://extensions). - Turn on Developer mode, top right.
- Click Load unpacked and choose the unzipped folder.
- Open dev-null.sh. /dev/null++ is in the menu, under Settings.
Firefox, with a .xpi file
- Open the file, or drag it into a Firefox window, and click Add.
Firefox, with a .zip file (not yet signed by Mozilla)
- Do not unzip it. Open
about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox. - Click Load Temporary Add-on… and choose the file.
Firefox removes a temporary add-on when it restarts, so repeat these two steps after a restart.
Updating
dev-null.sh tells you at the top of the page when a new version is out. In Chrome, Edge or Brave, unzip the new file into the same folder as before, replacing the files, then click the reload arrow on /dev/null++ in chrome://extensions. Your settings and AI key stay. In Firefox, install the new file the same way as the first.
