Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Facebook uses extensive techniques to prevent automated removal of their 'Sponsored' posts. Using a simple string comparison algorithm, this extension will determine whether a post is 'Sponsored' and then remove it from the feed.

An example of some keywords are: "buy", "sale", "limited time", "act now", "buy now", "limited time offer" As a user, you can customise the default keywords from the extension Options page.

The extension Options page also allows enabling console logging to see the details of posts which are being removed as you scroll.

The screenshots don't really do it justice. Install and see for yourself!

Please be aware: Although unlikely, the algorithm can match a non-sponsored post and delete it. The accuracy greatly depends on the keyword list and threshold value in the extension Options page.
