Features & Capabilities

This extension will remove sponsored and suggested posts plus suggested reels & short videos from your Facebook feed (both home and watch pages).

If your feed loads indefinitely, its probably because you haven't joined enough groups/pages. Just disable "Blocked Suggested Posts" and you should be good.

If you find the extensions helpful feel free to recommend it to your friends.

Note : that it might stop working temporarily in case of future changes on the website, but hopefully it will be fixed as soon as possible in that case.

Is Facebook Sponsor Blocker Safe?

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.

Facebook Sponsor Blocker requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Facebook Sponsor Blocker may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
