I've been using this Chrome extension [0] for many years which simply hides the news feed. After installing it, I never looked back. I haven't disabled it once. If everyone stopped using the news feed, Facebook would be dead. It's the heart of the addiction machine.

- xefer 9y agoThis is sort of bizarre to me. I say this because I use uBlock to remove everything but the newsfeed. The screen shots shown on that extension page is basically the inverse of what I have... How do you engage with Facebook at all?
- nkantar 9y agoMy guess is they engage with other Facebook users in a more direct and deliberate manner. I'd wager that's a far less addictive way to use Facebook overall.
- zupa-hu 9y agothanks, installed :)
- qntty 9y agoI managed to get the same effect by going to "News Feed Preferences" and unfollowing everyone. I don't think this was possible years ago, but now it is.
