Chrome Web store link to install the extension.

To learn how to make a browser extension and do some ES6 programming, I decided to tackle a problem I have a lot while looking for recipes: long-winded recipe blogs that have pages and pages of personal stories and photos when all I want is to see the recipe! With RecipeFilter enabled, it tries to highlight the recipe itself at the top of the page so you don't have to go hunting for it!

Give it a shot; feedback welcome (or pull requests on GitHub)!.

Thank you so much for this. No more sifting through thirteen pages about how the chef’s aunt’s cat inspired them to create this home cooked chicken recipe. 🙌

Omg this is amazing. I reeeally don't care that your hubby has been coming home late from the office or your quest for the perfect one-pot meal that your kids will love, just tell me the damn ingredients.
