FBPurity is a browser plugin that lets you decide what to see on FB. You can decide to only see what friends post and not what they like, share, or comment on, etc.

Wow. Comparing with this addon and without is pretty jarring. I might actually start using the newsfeed again with this addon.

Holy cow do FB just shove a bunch of shit into the feed.

Doesn't seem to work, won't filter out Sponsored posts despite the option being selected...

Facebook changes the way Spοnsored content is formatted on a moment to moment basis, sometimes in a way that breaks accessibility software, to foil exactly this kind of software, and ad-blockers.

I don't see sponsored posts but perhaps that's due to Ublock Origin, not FBPurity.
