Extension summary

Update 1.2: *The extension works a little bit quicker now *The options page had some renovations.

Coming soon: *Add your own words *Stats on what's getting removed.

Our Google Chrome extension filters out political posts by removing them from your feed as you scroll. Whether you're on your news feed, a friends page, a group, or any other feed, the related posts will disappear.

Due to the recent political events we've seen a lot of comments and posts about politics. While it's good to stay informed, a lot of these posts are filled with misinformation, hatred, and nonsense. Eventually, enough is enough and you may want to take out some, or all, of the politics from your Facebook experience.

After these elections, I need a break from politics for a while. Great that extensions like this exist to do just that.
