Lars Berglund (ID: 000000af5db05f96) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/22/2024 Funkar bra på svenska och gömmer sponsrade inlägg, vilket FBP, Social Fixer inte klarar av. Edit 3/4 2024: Nu var det ett tag sedan tillägget uppdaterades och nu funkar det inte så bra. Edit 22/8 2024: Det är enda nackdelen, att det kan gå ett tag mellan uppdateringarna av tillägget, så att grejer slinker igenom med tiden. Just nu funkar det bra.

Linda Wisdom (ID: 0000007c58c1a01e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/25/2024 I just installed it and it bleedin' works! OMG!! No more annoying sponsored Facebook ads... for now!!! Thanks. Update: March 2024 I am starting to see sponsored ads randomly again even though extension is on so marking down from 5 stars to 4 stars. Update April 2024 - starting to see sponsored posts again. So marking down to 3 stars.

John David Thacker (ID: 0000004b58025e63) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/27/2023 Thank you. This makes Facebook usable. Is it possible to block "Reels and short videos" as well?

Ari Schaeffer (ID: 000000f9664a449a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/16/2023 fb breaks this, but dev updates, and it's working again. just keep the extension up to date and you'll be ok. thanks for maintaining this, it's sad how much racist/scam stuff meta allows on the platform now and not having to see it is fantastic!
