Hide 'Like' Notifications Extension

Farewell

Facebook has changed its design to allow users to suppress distractive notifications. Just turn the More Activity About You option off in the Notifications Settings[1].

Now that you do not need this Chrome extension. Just remove it.

I hope you enjoy Facebook without distraction.

Regards,
Hide
