Extension summary

Kills the news feed and replaces it with a message reminding you not to get distracted. That's it. You can still check your messages and notifications, post status updates, and do everything you could do before. You just won't get distracting news feed posts anymore.

No more wasting time on Facebook. No more getting distracted when you log on to send a message. It's that simple.

User reviews

Its a great app. The only thing that kind of bothers me is that it also blocks marketplace ads. Market is about the only thing i use regularly so i have to enable/disable extension everytime. Maybe add a separate site access option to disallow extension access to *.facebook.com/marketplace* ?

To było świetne rozszerzenie, niestety od miesiąca chyba przestało działać. :((

This extension has saved me SO much time over the years. Have recommended it to many friends. For the last week though, it has started blocking some non-newsfeed pages (E.g. currently can't see Facebook marketplace). Would be great if an update is coming to fix this. Thanks!
