Features & Capabilities

Social Fixer is a powerful Chrome extension designed to enhance your Facebook experience by tackling common annoyances and adding valuable features. It allows you to filter your news feed based on content, author, or URLs, with pre-defined filters to hide sponsored, political, or other unwanted posts. You can customize Facebook's interface by hiding specific page sections, forcing the 'Most Recent' feed, and tweaking displays using built-in options or custom CSS.

Additional features include a Comment Navigator to expand and highlight older comments, a Stealth Mode to avoid accidental interactions, and an anonymize tool for safer screenshots by hiding sensitive information. Social Fixer updates filters and tweaks regularly, ensuring your Facebook experience stays efficient, fun, and tailored to your preferences.

User Reviews

Social Fixer is widely praised for effective filtering (including word-based post filtering) and reducing Facebook annoyances. It is also seen as adaptable to changes and is described as a must-have. However, reviewers raise reliability concerns due to lack of maintenance and reports of it not working after Facebook updates. Other common issues include manual steps for some features, partial ad blocking, language/political filtering limitations, and UI glitches like jumpy scrolling and pop-up dialogs.

Pros

Powerful word-based post filtering and the ability to follow family posts again.
Solves a lot of Facebook annoyances and improves the overall experience.
Adapts quickly to Facebook changes and keeps functioning as the site evolves.
Highly praised and often described as a must-have extension.

Cons

Maintenance and reliability concerns: not updated since 2023 and some users report it stops working by 2024.
Some features require manual steps (e.g., using the comment explorer per post) instead of automatic expansion.
Ad blocking is not reliable; it loads but doesn't block ads.
Language and political filtering are inconsistent (e.g., Turkish language limitations and left-leaning posts slipping through; accusations of bias).
UI/UX quirks and performance issues, such as scrolling jumps when posts are hidden and pop-up dialogs.

Recent reviews

Recommended posts are by far the greatest annoyance at FB and hiding these only works when FB is set to English language.

USELESS CRAP

by Fi*****, 2026-03-30

Facebook updates very frequently. An extension that has not been maintained since 2023 has little value.

Is Social Fixer Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Social Fixer requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Social Fixer has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
