Eradicate distractions and take back control of your browsing

Description from store
Do you often want to check social media, and then find yourself disappearing for hours as you're consumed by the endless scrolling? Do you want your life back, but can't bear to delete social media altogether?
This is where News Feed Eradicator comes in.
News Feed Eradicator removes the most addicting part of Facebook, Twitter and other social networks - the feed - and replaces it instead with an inspirational quote. You can still use the other functionality as usual, you just won't get sucked into the attention hole.

- Jing Ren
- Very good for my mental health. Even better than screen time because it accurately targets what is the most harmful.
- Jesse
- Can you please remove the passive-aggressive "Scroll your life away!" message? I need to use LinkedIn or Reddit sometimes for work and don't really feel like being judged every time I snooze it.
- Jay Ungerland
- Works perfectly, a huge boon for focused attention. Bonus: amazing amazing quotes in the blocked areas.
- TOXICGOD 死 (忍)
- Best . Perfect tool to stop doom-scrolling. Using it to prepare for Ramadan and it’s already helping me stay more focused and mindful. Clean, lightweight, and does what it promises.
- From Infinity
- Love it. Best tool for reclaiming your attention... and the quotes are cute (fyi you can make the quote boxes look better by making them transparent).
- Joel Breedlove
- Incredible Tool! Love the quotes feed, adding your own is so easy.
- Ashton S
- I've been using this for over a year but I'm especially enjoying the new update that requires you to click and hold to give yourself a small amount of browsing time. It's been very effective in cutting down my social media time compared to the old version or other things I've tried. I am incredibly grateful for this free-to-use tool.
- Erwin Kosciolek
- 10/10 one of the best extensions to ever exist!
- Trung Nguyen
- It sort of works. From my experience it works only on first visit of the page. Whenever I try to go to settings, deal with messages, check events or to check my network (LinkedIN) and then go to home, the feed actually shows up. Sometimes you don't even have to actually visit home.
- E K
- Perfection. It was quite nice with the previous version too, but now it's like 200% better
- Piotr Łabno
- Useful extension. Just please fix it on Facebook - now it is not working fully correctly (Reels are visible).
- Michael Mason
- I deleted it due to the new layout etc, but downloaded it again just to leave this review. The old version was so much better no idea why they changed something so drastically that worked, I will now uninstall it again, what a shame, used to be great
- Chris Bowser
- Very grateful to have a free tool to prevent social media scrolling whilst still allowing access to the sites' messaging features. Thank you Jordan and whoever else helped develop it!
- Kris Hubley
- No longer working correctly on LinkedIn. Requires one to refresh the page each time on LinkedIn in order for the eradicator to block the homepage. One step forward, two steps back
- Nithin
- New version is such a bad user experience. Almost feels like someone new bought the app and totally f-ed it up. Please just give us the old version.
- Jon McMillan
- I leave detailed commentary on recent changes to others, I'm not a programmer nor a particuarly heavy user of facebook in any case, part of that no doubt because I started using New Feed Eradicator a looooong time ago and never really go into the habit of scrolling the news feed. I have always been reasonably adamant that a program has to suit my needs, not the other way around, so when facebook switched to the newsfeed format I had to find a way around it or leave. Thankfully for me this script has been doing the job for years. I can still message with my friend from around the world or use marketplace without having to see whatever BS is being promoted by an algorythm into the feed. I would like it if the series of images of people (stories?? I honestly don't know) between the 'what's on your mind' and the eradicator quote would disapear again. It only recently popped up for me and it's fairly distracting.
- Bean Weekly
- doesnt work on brave browser for me (would love to see this fixed) but still given 5 stars as it is amazing on chrome
- blackcaer
- Pls enable us to bring back the older look, new one is worse. Previously it was faster and simpler
- Mohamed hatim
- facebook isnt working even if its enabled !!!!
- Evelyn Goslin
- LIFE SAVING. I've been trying to kick my Facebook addiction since 2015, and I've NEVER succeeded until now. This has made Facebook an enjoyable website to open up again. I can check my notifications, message friends, check on my favorite groups or local events, and then WALK AWAY. I truly couldn't do that before. I've told all my friends about this extension and will continue to do so. This is truly amazing!
- Artur Dobosz
- Before the changes, I would have given it 5 stars. There was a great feature to unlock only one page, but now unlocking activates the news feed on every page. Because of this, when I want to unlock YouTube but have Facebook open to chat with someone, I automatically fall into the trap and start scrolling through Facebook.
- Kay Peacey
- This plugin is a true gift to anyone working in digital marketing. Thank you! I need to be on the social platforms for work, but don't want the compelling distractions of the feeds. This plugin made my working days more productive, less frustrating and just... nicer.
- Anthony Albano
- Better since latest update. Can now remove blur. I do miss having the option to snooze a specific website. Now we have less control, and can only "snooze" all websites at the same time. Can we get the old functionality back please? The extension was perfect. Thank you for all the hard work. I know it sucks to get all the hate but it's cause we love what you created.
