Rise above the time-sinks

Description from store
This chrome extension will become an assistant in your pursuit to control the time we spend every day in infamous time-sinks: Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, LinkedIn and Netflix.
We all know how distracting and engrossing these sites can be, but blocking them totally is also not a feasible option since they do provide some really useful content.
We have identified those parts in each of these websites that grab our attention and serve us unlimited content all day. This extension enables you to hide each of these parts selectively, and even block access to any of these websites.
Your settings are synced over the google account so that you can use this extension in multiple computers with the same settings.
Note: No history is accessed by the extension and WE DO NOT send/store any browsing related information.

- (2022-10-07, v:1.8.8) -[ Alien FX Fiend ]-: Facebook Hide Likes & Comments Broken As Of Late
It doesn't work anymore on FB's NewsFeed (the Hide Likes + Comments Sections) Last I heard FB changed it's NewsFeed mainpage structure, & a similar userstyle for Stylus also broke for FB. Please fix it ASAP !!! I'm dying. - (2022-10-06, v:1.8.8) Denis Coglianese: Doesn't seem to work with facebook feed anymore?
Title pretty much, just got on FB after a while and I can see the feed and most everything else, not all toggles seem to work - (2022-10-05, v:1.8.8) ABOOD RAMI: please fix the Facebook bug

I'm want to my friend punched me everytime when i turn on recommendations on YouTube. Can you add feature that send e-mail on specific address, when i turn off any switcher? - (2022-07-04, v:1.8.7) Thomas Raukamp: Doesn't work on Facebook anymore
Hello. Your extension made Facebook usable for me. Sadly, it doesn't block comments andlikes anymore since a month or so. Thanks for your work. - (2022-05-12, v:1.8.7) Vikram Maran: Feature Request: Disable Facebook Reels and Short Vids
FB has introduced this new widget which is quite spammy. - (2022-03-22, v:1.8.7) Mike Pintea: PLEASE ADD THIS FEATURE
I am begging you. I am sure I am not alone. Allow certain Groups on Facebook to be "whitelisted" from the "Hide feed" option, maybe by the user inputting the URL to that group. I work in the film industry and often use Facebook to find new clients in various groups, but of course, when I disable your wonderful extension to see these posts - I rarely turn it back on until I've already wasted an hour or 2 stuck on Facebook. I would imagine this "Whitelisting" feature could be expanded to other website you block. I know I'd really appreciate it. - (2022-03-03, v:1.8.7) Sonal Saha: Feature Request
Hi, This is a great extension to take make sure you consciously spend your time on things. This is a request for YouTube. Along the same lines as blurring the thumbnails, It would be great if people could see the length of the video front and centre. This will allow people to know exactly how much time they are going to spend / waste on a video. - (2022-02-01, v:1.8.6) Nicky: block button doesn't work 😭
when pressing block it doesnt block the site. thank you so much for this app !! we used it for years and it helps so much <3 - (2022-01-22, v:1.8.5) Bullet Oclarit: Facebook Gaming Feed - Block Option
Thank you very much for this wonderful extension. Hoping you can add Facebook Gaming Feed - Block Option in the future. - (2021-12-27, v:1.8.5) VI: Extension not working on Kiwi browser
Hi! Just wanted to let you know that the extension stopped working for Kiwi browser altogether a couple of months ago. I'm still able to flip the switches, however they dont block the web pages anymore. Thank you for your hard work! - (2021-11-19, v:1.8.5) Guilherme Salomão (Salomão Parkour): Turn on/off website preferences
I’d like to be able to turn on/off specific websites settings, but still keep my preferences. For example: If I choose to block YouTube’s recommendations, sidebar and comments, it would be nice to turn everything on/off without having to click all three settings. Just one click to turn everything off or on. - (2021-11-19, v:1.8.5) Guilherme Salomão (Salomão Parkour): Block Instagram Feed
Would love to be able to block Instagram Feed and Stories too. - (2021-10-12, v:1.8.5) David S: Search/Hide Feed
I have to disable Hide Feed to see search results - is there any way you can disentangle this? - (2021-10-12, v:1.8.5) David S: Facebook recommendations
Group and event recommendations are starting to slip through. - (2021-09-27, v:1.8.5) Sam Darling: Doesn't block reddit r/all in incognito mode
I'm allowing it in incognito mode but it isn't working properly there - (2021-09-12, v:1.8.4) Merin Thomas: Problem and Not working
Hi, I loved this extension and have used it this summer. However, now it is saying "No Data" for everything (youtube, instagram) and won't let me use it. Can you please fix this? Thank you so much for your help! - (2021-07-23, v:1.8.3) /: New Feature
Hello, the youtube blur thumbnail feature is great, however could there be a new youtube feature which totally removed the thumbnail altogether, thanks. - (2021-06-17, v:1.8) Jesse Langelier: Twitch
It would be great to have the ability to block certain elements of twitch like you do for youtube - (2021-05-22, v:1.8) Tom Zhang-MacLeod: Just a suggestion!
Hey! I wanna thank you for saving me a lot of wasted time scrolling through useless stuff. You've created such a great extension and it's really made a lot of difference to my productivity. I had a suggestion, which is related to your "redirect to X" function. Right now, if I try to visit any of my blocked sites, I am automatically redirected to the same site. However, maybe you could add a customise feature, where if I want to visit Netflix I get redirected to X, but if I want to visit Reddit I get redirected to Y? Just a thought. Thanks for the amazing work! - (2021-04-01, v:1.8) 色箱: There is a bug with Block list
When try to block "https://2ch-c.net" it cause invalid URL - (2021-03-24, v:1.7.2) Melissa Dakin: Twitter Topics
Twitter just added a 'Topics to follow' box on the right side of their website, any chance of getting that as a choice to be hidden too? Thanks for all the great work! - (2021-03-02, v:1.7.1) Jonathan Neumann: "hard block" sites for given Amount of time
It would be great to have the option to block the ability to turn the extension off for a given amount of time - maybe for 30min, 1h, 24h. - (2021-02-28, v:1.7.1) ak: Firefox
Hi, do you guys have this extension for Firefox? Thanks. - (2021-02-08, v:1.7) Paul Lemaret: bug with LinkedIn feed
I love your app, I use it since several months, but since last week my feed on LinkedIn is not more blocked, could you help me ? - (2021-02-07, v:1.7) Steven Ji: Doesn't hide LinkedIn Feed anymore
Appreciate your amazing work! The option to hide LinkedIn doesn't work anymore. Thank you so much! - (2021-01-31, v:1.7) Jack Richards: Say no data
Before it worked but not on every socaimedia it says no data - (2021-01-23, v:1.6) Paisano: Doesn't block "who to follow" section when logged in
Doesn't block "who to follow" section when logged in. - (2020-12-07, v:1.3) Crashcar Will: make it harder to turn off
add an option to make it not able to turn off, or make it so you cant turn it off for a specified time period. - (2020-08-11, v:1.2.8) Andrei Mares: Hide YouTube sidebar
Can you please set when hiding the youtube sidebar to also remove the remaining text. Or at least auto-minimize the sidebar. Thanks. - (2020-05-19, v:1.2.4) Alex Gene: Instagram
Interested adding filtering for Instagram? that too has "Suggestions for you" like the rest most of the times are utterly irrelevant, while before that I do not really require any suggestion (it's funny because they share your personal data among them, as stated in their terms and conditions, which data are completely wrong about you) - (2020-05-11, v:1.2.3.1) Paisano: doesn't block the "Who to follow" that appears in the timeline while logged in
There is a second "Who to follow" section that appears in the timeline in twitter when you log in to twitter, Could you please add an option to hide that as well if possible? Thanks. - (2020-03-02, v:1.2.2) Brian Jackson: New FB profile and change LinkedIn behavior
As you might have seen, FB is rolling out their new UI to everyone. I've been using it for months already. Would be awesome to see support for it. For LinkedIn, there is another Chrome extension that hides the feed, but the "Start a post" at the very top. This is useful as I don't want to see the feed, but for marketing and business purposes still need to be able to easily share. Thanks - (2020-02-03, v:1.2.2) Eyy Eyy: Facebook timeline still works
:( - (2019-07-25, v:1.2.0) Stefan Bittner: Trends in new Twitter layout
Hide Trends has no effect - (2019-07-21, v:1.2.0) Микола Петюх: New Twitter
Please, update filters for new Twitter design - (2019-02-18, v:1.0.8) Allow custom blocking
