## Review summary

Users broadly praise FBCleaner for cleaning up Facebook by removing ads and junk, keeping the feed focused on friends and followed pages, and doing so with low resource impact. However, several reviews note downsides: the filter can be too aggressive and remove legitimate posts or memories; some ads remain, and performance can dip (blinking, delays, crashes). Usability gaps include no quick way to exceptions or deactivation, and no Android support. Overall it works well but with notable trade-offs in content accuracy and cross-device availability.

### Pros

- Removes ads and junk from the Facebook feed, reducing sponsored/recommended posts.
- Keeps the feed focused on content from friends and pages you follow, improving readability.
- Lightweight and generally low on system resources compared to similar tools.
- Improves the browsing experience by reducing distractions and clutter.
- Widely praised for effectively scrubbing the feed of unwanted content.

### Cons

- Can be overly aggressive, occasionally removing legitimate posts from friends/pages/groups and even memories.
- Does not remove all ads (e.g., some upper-right sponsored ads and Marketplace ads may still appear).
- Can cause performance issues such as blinking during scrolling, loading delays, or even crashes in some cases.
- Lacks easy controls for exceptions or quick deactivation from Firefox, and may block certain page-management tasks.
- No Android/mobile version available.
