Hi there. Just wanted to say I made this rudimentary extension a few days ago in like an hour or two (not trying to brag for coding fast but to make it sound less important, since it's an extension for enhancing procrastination), and then forgot about it. But now when I found myself on Facebook again, and the News Feed seemed somewhat less clustered. It even took me a bit to realize that, hey, it's that thing I made last weekend, and it's kinda working. So why not share it, then. Here's the GitHub repo: https://github.com/skidding/chrome-hide-facebook-sponsored-p.... The code is not very optimized, but it's short, clear and of course there's no funny business (seeing how it's requesting access to *.facebook.com)

EDIT: Oops, I posted with the /publish-accepted at the end which opens up the "published" notification. Oh well, use the clean link below:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ogacbihneknbgjlkgn...

yes, that notification informed me "Your item has been published. All changes will take effect within a few minutes." -- this got my attention quickly, mods please change link
Embarrassing, I know. If this actually gets into the attention of the mods that would be awesome
Are people still using Facebook?
Only around 1 billion active users per month.
Or as Mark Zuckerberg sees them, only around 1 billion people to extort money from per month.

FB stopped being about social media some months ago.
