Stop Facebook Spam Extension

As a Facebook user I get annoyed by the amount of pointless content I have to see on my feed when I'm using the web app, content I didn't choose that it's suggested to you by the algorithm. I developed this extension that allows users to hide this content, specifically 'suggested for you' pages, reels, and short videos. So people can actually focus on content shared by people or pages they actually choose to follow.
