didn't work:[
dont work, keep seeing the royal family and their baby archie everywere
It would have been a wonderful invention, except that it is not working!!!!
Doesnt work at all on FB.
Preciso muito de um plugin desses, mas este infelizmente não funciona de jeito nenhum.
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
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.
Does absolutely nothing to my facebook feed. Uninstalled, sorry... :(
Hi, I am interested in acquiring your extension "Rather". Please contact me at: [email protected]
I've still got Trump on my Facebook.
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
It worked for a few hours, and then just stopped.
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!
Thank you, fellas.
Doesn't work on Facebook for me.
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.
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!
Doesn't seem to work.
