- This did not work at all. If I could rate lower than one star I would. My husband and I are struggling to have a baby, and I just couldn't stand to look at my feed and see all of the people that I know having children anymore. So, I was hoping that this would help. I put in the longest string of baby/pregnancy related words that I could come up with. No more than ten minutes later, I log onto Facebook to see the first post is about a pregnant co-worker's baby shower! I followed the instructions in the FAQ. I am extremely disappointed that this did not work, even following the creator's instructions.

- Couldn't get it to work at all. Followed the instructions in the FAQ and nothing.

- Useless for Facebook. I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling, cache clearing, restarting... and all to no avail. Just wanted to block one simple word... Trump
- Bart Read
- Sad to say doesn't work at all in Chrome 55 on OSX. Tried to use it to filter out the deluge of Trump-related posts on facebook and it had absolutely no effect.
- Andrei Zdetoveţchi
- Does absolutely nothing to my facebook feed. Uninstalled, sorry... :(
- Irina Svetlowa

- Eddie Savage
- Update! Tried uninstalling and reinstalling again and it is now working. Thank you, thank you! You keep me sane! Hey, guys - this is super frustrating! The extension is installed (uninstalled and reinstalled) but it is no longer filtering my newsfeeds on Facebook or Twitter. Please help!

- No volvi a ver a las Kardashian, se merecen 10 estrellas
- Marcy Harbut
- It worked for a few hours, and then just stopped.
- Mark
- If ever there was a right time for this to work I'd say around now with all the 'Pokemon GO' fever going on on Facebook. But it ain't helping me. Please MAKE IT STOP!
- claudia kapranos
- Thank you, fellas.
- AJ Johnston
- Doesn't work on Facebook for me.
- Candice B
- Useless for facebook. I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling, cache clearing, restarting... and all to no avail. Absolutely none of the filter lists work. I can't speak to its usefulness on Twitter.
- Grant Bacaltos
- My feed's a lot happier now. I can choose to replace things I'd rather not see with cute animals or Pokemon. A minor inconvenience though, is that the blacklisted word needs to be exact (except for casing I think). So if you blacklisted "Blah" then the word "Blah2016" will still be displayed on your feed. You have to include both on your blacklist.

- Awesome! It's not perfect but man, It has saved me from all the baby pictured out there. Thank you so much. You've saved my friendships because now I don't have to block, un follow or resent them lol

- doesn't work.

- Cumpre o que promete :)

- It replaced content with pornograsphic images. I am pretty peeved seeing as I am at work and this could have been really bad for me. It was very offensive content from a porn website. I dont understand, but replacement list is very innocent, it includes alpacas, cats, animals, and sheep. I just wanted images of animals rather than the kardashians and I get something even more offensive than that!
