You can now turn on/off filters from the Settings page. Look for the gear icon "⚙️" in the top right corner.

We have finally reached v1.00

This means that the script has become how I intended it to be. There will be no more feature updates. Just bug fixes and performance improvements upon user requests.

Special thanks to Ethan Richardson for your huge contribution.

Why stop it here?

This version of FB is really hard to work on. There are some issues like jittering and scroll jumps that I have not found any way to fix. You can refer to the Known Issues section for more info.

What's next?

I will instead work on my FB mobile - Clean my feeds Helper (Browser extension) to port Desktop version of FB onto mobile. Which has better UI/UX, better performance and loads media files in original size. Install any FB Cleaner Desktop script/extension of your choice alongside it to block unwanted posts. But as of right now, not all of FB desktop pages are responsive and its going to be the extension's task to port them.

Though development is/will be slow as I'm struggling with my Career. Feel free to visit or contribute to it.

Known issues

Facebook has an enhanced Mobile version of facebook which only works on Chromium browsers. The browsing experience is not as good as the App you are used to. It shows low quality photos and videos. But this is all we got that we can inject a script into.

ℹ️ So keep the original App installed and use it only for leisure browsing.

Other issues

• Jitters when scrolling
  • You actually scroll faster than you think. So new posts get added pretty frequently. While the execution of the script isn't slow, shrinking of unwanted posts causes constant Page height shifts. You can find learn more about it inside the script.
• Blank Posts when coming back to NewsFeed
• Firefox based browsers not supported
  • The enhanced version of m.facebook only loads on Chromium browsers. Nothing I can do about it for now.
• Api rate limit ⚠️Please scroll slowly
  • After a while they keep pushing hundreds of Suggested posts in a row. As you keep scrolling faster than usual, it is possible to hit Api rate limit. Or in general term: they put a timer between each post requests and you asked for posts before the timer ended
• Doesn't work when coming back after a break
  • Instead of doing the "Pull down to refresh", press the 3 dot menu and press Refresh there.
