User reviews

The Disable Facebook News Feed add-on was highly effective at reducing Facebook distractions and improving user productivity, praised for blocking the news feed while allowing messaging. However, multiple users report that it no longer works reliably on the main Facebook site since late 2023 and does not support Firefox Android. Other issues include blocking features like Marketplace and only partial feed blocking. Many users hope for a timely update to restore functionality, as the add-on has significantly helped reduce Facebook addiction when operational.
