Facebook was refreshing every time I opened a new tab to read something but then I found out about this extension so installed it and it's great. I use Brave browser.

Amazing. So much less frustrating using Facebook. It is possible to narrow its permissions to only work on sites of your choosing in the extensions options. This seems prudent as you never know what happens to updates in the future.
