Summary

This extension looks for certain keys in Facebooks feed and hides elements that contain 'Reels and short videos' and 'Suggested for you'.

It places a small banner in the items place to let you know what was hidden.

This extensions primary purpose it to clean up your feed from reels and suggestions so you're not bombarded with irrelevant 'fluff' in your feed.

For people that use Facebook for business purposes, this will minimize the amount of fluff you see and just clean things up a bit more so you can get back to what you need to do rather than all the distractions.


If your language is not English, the extension will most likely not work, log an issue with your language and we can look at adding it - https://github.com/mrinc/Facebook-Hide-Recommendations-and-Reels/issues

It works on Chrome. I'll report back after a while.

I rarely rate. If I rated 5 stars, it's truly 5 stars.

Installed it this morning and it worked as advertised, then a few hours later it stopped blocking things, the reels and suggested posts were back in force to torment my senses. I refreshed the install, restarted Brave, turned my computer off and on again, so far none of my very scientific methods have proven successful in restoring the peace my eyeballs were subjected to a few hours earlier. Would love to get it to work again, but even if I can't, I'd still rate it 5 star for the short period of bliss I experienced while it did work; It gave me hope that god does exists and there are some things worth living for.
