Steem Curation Extension

This browser extension highlights certain posts on Steem-based websites, such as Steemit.com and other sites running the Condenser front end. Specifically, it highlights posts that are promoted by burning Steem Dollars (SBD) or those that burn STEEM, SBD, and SP beneficiary rewards by directing them to the @null account.

Features

  • Highlights posts that were promoted by burning SBD tokens.
  • Highlights posts that have beneficiary rewards set to direct rewards to the @null account.
  • Color gradients in the highlighting help to identify promotion costs and beneficiary settings at a glance.
  • Works on Steemit.com and other Steem-based sites using the Condenser front end.

This functionality helps web site visitors to identify posts that may have received artificial promotion or where rewards are being deliberately burned.
