- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16889311, a year agoMakes Facebook actually useable. Really appreciate this app. Have been using for about a month and no problems with it at all.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17881207, 2 years agoFantastic. Returns control of the feed to the user! It is quite techy to configure. Perhaps the dev could offer a dumbed down version (designed by a non-dev) with just a couple of options to satisfy the numpties that gave it 1 star. Watch out Matt, FB will be coming for you with countermeasures, that is if they don't just send the boys around to break your knee caps! :-)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17908987, 2 years agoThis is GREAT! It took 30 seconds to set up a rule blocking all the horrendous "suggested for you" garbage posts that FB was constantly pushing. I absolutely love it! Now I just get to see my feed without literally every other post being FB junk. Along with Facebook Container, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, Privacy Badger, uBlockOrigin, and PiHole I have a completely clean and ad-free Facebook experience.
Absolutely insane what one has to do to enjoy a service without being monetized, tracked, and shoved ads every step of the way. - Rated 5 out of 5by 天灭中共退党团队保平安, 2 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by zika, 2 years agoAll things I tested are working perfectly. Lot of options. Hide ads and suggestions just adding keywords to "hide posts" menu. Im impressed. Not a programmer but know that modifying main FB web via browser extension is something facebook don´t want to happen, and hard to do and maintain.
This deserves lot of grattitude to the author. - Rated 5 out of 5by stefanoaz, 2 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17694334, 2 years agoDespite unchecking the reminder box on the Donation tab, it will still remind you to donate every now and then. Sponsored posts are not hidden, do not download.
- Rated 1 out of 5by D, 2 years agoIt doesn't work for me at all. Literally nothing. Not blocking sponsored post, nor political, no option to hide read posts, no comment navigator. I had such high hopes for this. Sad.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Kelly Rouse, 2 years agoIsn't hiding sponsored posts anymore. Otherwise, great extension.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14580416, 2 years agoThis was a great add-on, but it hasn't been updated in a year which is causing it to break Facebook now.

- Rated 1 out of 5by ChloeNow, 2 years agoThis will freeze your facebook if you leave it open for more than 5 minutes and you'll have to refresh.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Tas, 2 years agoI'm just using it with it's default settings and it still displays suggested/sponsored posts. I tried enabling the filters myself in the filter page, reloaded the page, still no difference.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Stefaon, 2 years ago[Previously : I tried it for the "suggestions" filter, but it doesn't work for that at all.
Seems like a good idea for the rest, but unfortunately not for what I want.]
Edit : Then I understand that the filter is for english speacker only, but it's possible to edit a custom filter (I did it with the word "Suggestions", and it work fine !). - Rated 1 out of 5by Cegir, 2 years agoI installed this for hiding thing like sponsored posts, but it does not work at all, no matter the filters enabled.
Also, FB is way much slower, because it loads the page twice (one is normal, then the addon checks the page).
Not working at all and very risky regarding security.Developer response
posted 2 years agoThere is no security risk - please don't say unsubstantiated accusations like that. Please edit your review.
Facebook has made recent changes that affect how well Social Fixer does some things, for some users. An update is on the way.
The main page only loads twice if you have the option enabled to default to the Most Recent feed, and you start on the default Home feed (from a bookmark, etc).
