Md Mahir Islam (ID: 0000007f896c0356) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/25/2022 It doesn't remove reels on Facebook I have tried refreshing couple of times , I don't know about other social media's. I respectfully request the developer to work on removing the reels option from Facebook other option may work I haven't check them yet. Best regards from my side!

Lucas B. (ID: 000000681227e4a7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/13/2022 One of the best productivity and focus extensions available. I tried a lot of them and this actually works, Twitter one especially. Maybe it would be nice to have a button to hide/show all. Highly recommended. Thanks for sharing it free!
