Show HN: I automated Outlook's broken unsubscribe flow (47 mins → 1 click)

I spent 47 minutes unsubscribing from one Outlook newsletter last month.
Turns out:
- 72% hide unsubscribe links in tiny gray text
- "Manage preferences" usually means "Enter your email again"
- Some make you solve captchas just to leave
So I built *AI Unsubscriber for Outlook* ([Chrome Link]): 1-click removal from any Outlook newsletter Skips all confirmation pages/surveys Free for 3 tries → then $1.99/month
*How it works technically:* 1. Uses Chrome’s scripting API to analyze email DOM 2. Scores potential unsubscribe elements (links/buttons) 3. Automates multi-page flows (even handles some CAPTCHAs)
*Ask HN:* 1. What’s your worst unsubscribe experience? 2. Roast my detection algorithm approach 3. Should I open-source the core logic?
