Newsfeed Filter Extension

I know, fb's clever algorithms can make educated guesses to promote content in your newsfeed, that you like even more than your friend's posts. But you still open fb to see your friend's posts, not ads.

Isn't it a shame to waste any amount of time, trying to discern original from promoted content? Wouldn't you like a more distractless environment?

Add Newsfeed Filter and watch all distractions gone - or just the ones you don't like

NOTE: The only data this extension stores are your choices regarding its options. They are stored on a browser related database and I have no access on them. No data from your actual facebook content are stored or sent anywhere.
