Social Fixer Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Facebook Extension for Blocking Suggested Feeds and Ad Blocking

  Social Fixer, I have used it for years. Until I started using the FB mobile app I didn't know what it was like to see a feed full of ads. I saw a few but they were rare. When FB makes changes he continues to work on the extension until it adjusts to the new things FB has thrown at us. https://socialfixer.com/. Source: 5 months ago

• Ask HN: Would you use a service that unfollow everyone on your social media?

  Once having used an extension named "Unfollow everyone on facebook at once" proved to be a very effective way to cut down the amount of pointless stuff on FB. Apparently, the extension was too effective and successful to stay unpunished: https://techstory.in/facebook-quashed-chrome-extension-that-lets-you-bulk-unfollow-everyone/ I stumbled over it back then due to the unavoidable Streisand effect and happily so.... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• How do I stop certain videos from popping up in my feed? Read description.

• "Introducing cross-app messaging" popup notice won't go away

• Social Media Is Dead: What we call social media networks are anything but. Now that they're beginning to unravel, we should ask what it would take to create social media for people, not advertisers.

  Along the same lines is Social Fixer. Mostly the same features, although they tend to fix the sponsored post visibility quicker if you keep the filters updated and properly prioritized (rarely requires effort): Https://socialfixer.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

• It's time for Mark Zuckerberg to step down

  Https://socialfixer.com/ has the option to automatically set it to "sort by new". I uninstalled facebook on my phone because I'd never see anything new, just posts from a day or two before. I don't even like a lot of pages or have a ton of friends. Source: over 1 year ago

• What the fluck has happened to Instagram?

  I use the social fixer app. No ads, no suggestions, no crap that you haven't signed up for in your feed etc. It's free or donation if you want to. I only look at FB on my computer though...I'm not sure whether it works for phones or not. Source: over 1 year ago

• Facebook's timeline just shows random things for some users

  It's not an ad, but the Social Fixer[0] plugin (I use it on Firefox, pretty sure there's one for Chrome) will stop after X-many items and force you to click to load more It also forces the feed to load in chronological order, if you like --------------- [0] https://socialfixer.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• When browsing facebook, I report all sponsored content I see as spam or misleading.

  Social Fixer is also another great FB addon. You can hide whole sections of the page, filter posts by keywords, hide all ads/sponsored content, automatically switch to Most Recent view of the main Newsfeed, hide political posts, the tweaks you can do are great :). Source: over 2 years ago

• Facebook permanently banned a developer after he made an app to let users delete their news feed

  Plugging Social Fixer as well. It got rid of most of the annoyances I have with Facebook from a UI/UX and customizability perspective and helps a ton with feed filtering options that Facebook doesn't give you as native features. Source: over 2 years ago

• 92% of Active-Duty Troops Have Been Vaccinated as Mandatory Deadlines Near

  Same here- don't follow crazy fuckers, you won't see crazy shit. Have you tried this app? Since I put it on, I see no more ads, suggestions, etc., really cleaned up my F/B feed. It's free, but every once in a while he'll ask for a donation. Well worth 10 bucks to me. Source: over 2 years ago

• What was supposed to be "The Next Big Thing", but totally flopped?
