Extension summary

Maybe you've had enough of lists like "The Top 43 Things Only People from Towns of Less Than 500 but More Than 304 People Will Understand."

Buzzfree removes all Buzzfeed links from your Facebook and Twitter feeds.

Permissions require access on Facebook and Twitter (both www and non-www) to find and remove links in your feed. Permissions require access to Buzzfeed for future functionality that will redirect you if a link is hidden in a link shortener.

This is still in beta. Some links might slip through if wrapped in bit.ly or another shortener. If you notice something coming through or have any feedback, feel free to email [email protected].

i hate buzzfeed so much, so via the transitive property, whoever made this app is a goddamn genius and an american hero. Now, you got one for Upworthy?
