Balázs Gyurák (ID: 0000003650b68781) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 02/23/2023 Great idea, love it! One feedback, or more like a feature request. If I click on a photo on Facebook (make it almost "full screen") I can still see the likes. It would be great to hide likes there as well - sometimes I want to see the large format of my friend's photos, but don't care about the likes. EDIT: as of 2023 it doesn't work on various sites: on Youtube it only hides the subscriber count, nothing else, on Facebook it doesn't hide comment reactions, and doesn't work at all on Instagram. I've reported to the developer multiple times but was not fixed, so uninstalling and changing my rating.

Emiliano Fleitas (MangerzArt) (ID: 0000005392964c3b) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/21/2023 MMM Is working for youtube/facebook , but not for Instagram, when you hover over your own post you still see the likes, also when you click and watch the post , you also see the number of likes. would be nice if it worked like instagram Hide like count, the problem is that you need to do that for everypost. So if you fix that for insgram you have my 5 star.
