- by Firefox user 13541955, 3 years agoRated 5 out of 5Very simple, does exactly what it says. Doesn't even need a firefox restart.
Also blocking the newsfeed seems quite effective against getting stuck on facebook. - by Firefox user 13173553, 3 years agoRated 5 out of 5

- by Firefox user 13562923, 3 years agoRated 5 out of 5Works as expected. Could add functionalities though like the one for chrome.
- by Firefox user 13558593, 3 years agoRated 4 out of 5Open source would be nice
An useful feature could be to put a personnalized message instead of the newsfeed (as in the chrome version of the app)
Thanks for sharing - by Firefox user 13198627, 3 years agoRated 4 out of 5Fixes most everything wrong with Facebook with one simple change.
I wish it was open source, because I don't like installing software from strangers. - by Firefox user 13516960, 3 years agoRated 5 out of 5Spełnia swoją funkcję. Nie zauważyłem wad. Główna strona Facebooka pozostaje pusta i znika nawyk przeglądania Facebooka!

This extension does exactly what it says. It removes the news feed, but leaves me with full access to my notifications in the top right corner, and my list of forums/groups that I try to follow in the left sidebar. This way I don't get distracted by all kinds of status updates and stuff in the news feed, while I get to use FB for what I actually need it for. If you're familiar with "News Feed Eradicator" in Chrome, this extension seems to do the exact same thing, but without the profound and non-contextualized, thought provoking quotes :p
Also: With the last update (1.1) the bug where the news feed was visible for a second or two when you first entered the page has been removed! Brilliant! :)
_One thing that I don't like:_
There are some situations where the extension doesn't work. When I go to facebook.com, there's no news feed, but when I go to the FB front page by clicking the FB-logo in the top left corner (i.e. through https://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo), I get the news feed. Still - this is a very much needed extension, so I'm giving a full star review!
_What I fear:_
Spyware. But as far as I can see, this seems legit - although I'm not qualified to stand for that statement. - by Firefox user 13522899, 3 years agoRated 5 out of 5I think this is very useful for people who need to use Facebook messenger etc without wasting time browsing useless news feed
- by Firefox user 13507932, 3 years agoRated 4 out of 5Uses a simple CSS rule to hide the news feed. Still loads the feed (and you may see the feed for a split second) so can't give 5 stars but definitely does not (and cannot possibly) steal your data

- by Michael Sloan, 3 years agoRated 1 out of 5If you view this extension's source, there's no actual javascript code. It doesn't do anything.

posted 3 years agoJust because it doesn't have js code doesn't mean it wont do anything. - by Firefox user 12898746, 3 years agoRated 5 out of 5Very helpful. Got here reading "How To Stop Being Addicted To Facebook" https://betterhumans.coach.me/how-to-stop-being-addicted-to-facebook-cb4c1138d63
