*** NO AFFILIATION WITH FACEBOOK/META

This extension looks for certain keys in Facebooks feed and hides elements that contain 'Reels and short videos' and 'Suggested for you'.

It places a small banner in the items place to let you know what was hidden.

This extensions primary purpose it to clean up your feed from reels and suggestions so you're not bombarded with irrelevant 'fluff' in your feed.

For people that use Facebook for business purposes, this will minimize the amount of fluff you see and just clean things up a bit more so you can get back to what you need to do rather than all the distractions.

If your language is not English, the extension will most likely not work, log an issue with your language and we can look at adding it - https://github.com/mrinc/Facebook-Hide-Recommendations-and-Reels/issues

Great add-on to curb your social media usage. Initialy it did't work due to non english language, however as prescribed in the describtion, once swithing FB language to english, all ads and garbage recomended posts disappeared. Perfect, it's 10/10
