Facebook Demetricator

Hides all the metrics on Facebook

Facebook Demetricator: Change Your Facebook Experience

Facebook Demetricator is a unique Chrome extension that aims to disrupt the way we perceive our social value online by removing all numerical metrics such as friend counts, likes and comments from Facebook's interface. It presents a non-quantified version of the platform that focuses on qualitative interaction rather than quantitative popularity.
