Extension summary

Analyze keywords

FB redesigned their newsfeed and I've decided to not be all things to all people so I'm just hiding things that annoy me personally. I'll replace the code on Git eventually so you can make your own mods.

As of 21 May 2021 this extension:
Hides FB 'algorithmically' selected content:

  • "Sponsored Ads"
  • "Suggested for You"
  • "Suggested Page(s)"
  • "People You May Know"

Collapses user generated content:

  • Cover photo changes
  • Shared Memories/Memory Related
  • Life Events
  • Check-ins/Meet-ups. This is surprisingly diverse to catch
  • Friend donations

"Suggested for you" is too strong. Aside from that it can block most ads in FB
