User reviews

Users generally find the extension effective at disabling the Facebook news feed and appreciate its simplicity. However, many report that it stops working after some time or after Facebook updates, leading to inconsistent performance. A common downside is that while it removes the main feed, it often leaves stories intact. Additionally, it sometimes disables feeds in Facebook groups unintentionally, which users would like to see as an optional setting. Compatibility issues with browsers like Edge and varied results on Chrome have also been noted.
