Seemed to do well for about a day and a half. But now it suddenly doesn't matter anymore: with or without this extension, 50% of posts I see, are sponsored ads.

Nice small-footprint add-on that keeps my newsfeed clean. No longer does my feed comprise of 50% ads and recommendations. I actually see more stuff from my friends.
