User reviews

Users appreciate that "Remove Friends" automates the tedious task of identifying and removing inactive Facebook friends, especially useful for large friend lists. However, many users report serious issues such as inaccurate inactivity detection, slow or nonfunctional behavior, and abrupt switch to a costly subscription without sufficient notice. The extension's trustworthiness is questioned due to forced account payments, poor customer service, and billing problems. Overall, while the extension could save time, potential users should be cautious due to its mixed reliability and business practices.

Pros

Effectively helps identify and remove inactive Facebook friends, saving significant time compared to manual unfriending.
Automates the unfriending process by slowly removing friends to avoid Facebook restrictions.
Provides configurable options like setting inactivity timeframe and batch size for removals.
Beneficial for users managing large friend lists to retain engagement relevant to business or social purposes.
Generally considered a useful tool that performs its core function when it works as intended.

Cons

Frequently reported to falsely mark all or many friends as inactive regardless of their real activity, leading to inaccurate results.
Recently switched to a paid subscription model with high monthly fees that many users find unjustified and not adequately communicated.
Many users report that the extension no longer works or is too slow to be practical.
Complaints about the app forcing account creation and requiring payment before full use, perceived as scammy behavior.
Customer support is unresponsive, and some users report difficulty canceling subscriptions or unexpected charges.

Recent reviews

This is definitely a scam. I have reviewed the source code of this extension (see the screenshot below). It sets all user reactions and comments to 0, which means all of your friends are considered inactive regardless of their actual activity.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Remove Friends requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
