F.B. Purity cleans the application spam and other annoying messages off your Facebook homepage. It adds a small information bar at the top of your Facebook homepage / news feed. It tells you how many game/application posts its hidden and also how many other "Extra" post types (which you can specify in the options screen) it has hidden. The options screen is accessible by clicking the FBP link in the top Navigation Bar.
Heres a list of the different post types you can hide:
Facebook Questions (and answers), Became friends with, Liked page (became a fan), Joined a group, Attending an event, Attended an event, Created an event, Changed location (Checked in/Travelling to/Travelled to), Updated profile, Changed profile picture, Updated Cover Photo, Changed relationship, Commented on or likes status, Uploaded photo, Tagged in (aka mentioned in), likes or commented on photo, Tagged in, likes or commented on album, Uploaded video, Tagged in video, Posted a link, Commented on or likes link, Posted a note, Tagged in note, Commented on wall, Commented on group wall, Commented on page wall, Wrote on Timeline (User,Page,Group,Event etc Timelines), Hide Fan Page Updates, Hide Shared Photos, Hide Shared Links, Commented on "This", Liked "This", Facebook Memories, Your Memories (aka "On this day"), Shared Memories (Shared a memory), "Is Live / Was Live" (Facebook Live Video)
You can filter out any subject on Facebook that doesnt interest you, using the "Text Filter" function, for example say you were not interested in Politics, you could put the relevant keywords/phrases that get mentioned in Political posts, such as the names of the Political party members, the party names, etc into the Text Filter box, and FBP will filter out any posts from the Newsfeed including that text. You can also use the Text Filter to filter out any mention of celebrities you are not interested in hearing about, such as Kanye, The Kardashians, etc.
F.B. Purity now also has an image content filter that lets you filter out images of cats, dogs, selfies, babies, memes, food, smoking and also lets you set your own custom image content filters.
You can also hide any of the links in the right hand column, such as: Events, Games and App Requests, Recommended Pages, Suggested Groups, People You May Know / Find More Friends, Get Connected, Pokes, Friend Requests, Birthdays, Chat, the News Ticker bar, Trending Topics / Trending Hashtags

Latest reviews
- (2024-09-06) Klaus: F.B.P does not work correctly for me, advertisements (German ‘Anzeige’) are still displayed. These advertisements were the reason for the installation. Since this does not work, I will uninstall it again.
- (2024-03-11) Deanne: Where is the update?
- (2023-06-22) Shelly: It works, but you have to open it and click 'save and close' on it every single time you visit facebook to get it to filter things out. It won't do it automatically from what I've been able to tell.
- (2023-06-01) Helen: A must-have for Facebook
- (2022-11-12) Todd: I don't think I could survive using FB w/o FB Purity. It gets wonky sometimes as FB changes their web page, but overall, it's a great extension.
- (2022-08-02) Vaughan: F.B. Purity is the greatest addition to Facebook ever! The ability to filter out topics and advertisements that are of no interest to me makes time spent on Facebook interesting instead of frustrating. Great Add-on!
- (2022-04-30) F: Frank Eisen
- (2021-11-10) Jason: FB Purity removes a lot of Facebook frustrations and makes Facebook a much more enjoyable experience. It's blatantly obvious how much FB Purity cleans up the experience when I switch to the Facebook mobile app and marvel at all the junk in my feed.
- (2021-04-26) Shawnna: Great to just see what I want and omit the rest of junk on FB. Told all my friends and the ones who chose to try it out love it too! I appreciate it!!
- (2021-03-01) Teresa: This is a Great App. The only thing that I'd like to see is that Edge keep up with the updates for F.B. Purity as it's now upgraded again but Edge has not.
- (2021-02-21) Carol: Does everything it promises and keeps you up to date on features/bugs/fixes if you follow on Facebook. Great stuff!
- (2021-02-10) Jane: Best add on that makes FB function efficiently and enjoyable.
- (2021-01-26) Rich: I am trying to use this right now but it appears the evil forces of Facebook are fighting back! I can't use the revert page on Microsoft Bing. Keep at it and THANK YOU!!!
- (2020-12-13) Amelia: I mostly use F.B.(FluffBusting)Purity to properly manage my friend list... to scan for those who have blocked me without first removing me friend their friend list so I can remove them. But this option doesn't seem to be there anymore. Why?
- (2020-11-14) Patricia: I know how hard you're trying to keep this working, but right now I can't do anything on FB. I'm told that my Edge browser is unsupported so I can only see a few posts but have no interaction act all; I'm dead in the water again.
- (2020-11-04) Kep: This is literally a David vs. Goliath situation : single handedly fighting Facebook's ignorance is a heroic effort!
- (2020-10-21) Michael: FB Purity lets me read Facebook the way I want to read it, not the way Facebook wants me to. I love having control over the order I see posts and being able to filter and turn off unwanted content.
- (2020-09-28) BJ: FBP is a MUST in every browser I use!
- (2020-08-20) PC: Wonderful!
- (2020-07-02) James: Want to take back control of your social media experience? This is the extension. Just give it a shot, and you will see. It is fantastic. I use the keyword to hid the words "Trump" and "Biden" and like magic, the partisan bickering is gone from my timeline.
- (2020-07-01) Mike: Awesome extension/add-on to get rid of all the useless ******** Facebook tries to feed us!!!
- (2020-06-19) Greg: I have been using this for years. Rid yourselves of unwanted material, ads and sponsored content.
