Big fan of the concept! Unfortunately, Manifold seems too dynamic for this extension (using the extension seems to break our site very quickly) but I really like the idea of temporarily hiding our market % so you can form an opinion before placing a bet:
Using javascript it’d be pretty easy to dynamically hide/show numbers depending on whether or not the text is a member of a certain javascript class. In this case, the class of interest is “mb-0.5 mr-0.5 text-2xl” (which doesn’t show up anywhere else on the main page).
More generally, the extension could allow users to mark numbers as “I want to see numbers that show up in places like this” or “I don’t want to see numbers that show up in places like this” and then create a rule to show/hide all numbers in that class. If you create a central database of these votes, you can then extend this across users, so that when someone comes across a new website numbers that they want to see are shown automatically.
Of course, sometimes classes aren’t enough, but in the case of Manifold it seems like it’d be sufficient (users could vote on whether or not to see text with the class “text-base text-red-500” and green (for recent shifts in market probability).
One downside to this approach is that it would break if the page updates its javascript classes, but if it’s crowdsourced it would probably get fixed pretty quickly and only impact a minority of users.
I haven’t worked on any browser extensions before (not sure what language they’re written in), but I do know javascript well enough. We can probably work something out!

Do you know how to do this kind of thing? I’d be happy to pay you for your time.

Here’s the git! https://github.com/SonOfLilit/calibrate?fbclid=IwAR2vBZ8IWfMgHTPla0CbohCUIqmrMUl-XEcYIWhKUrJ4ZRfH2Eg7Z7Zf1J4
we update our classes very frequently since this we use tailwind and iterate on the styles all the time
