Facebook Feed Control for desktop Chrome

Hide suggested Facebook posts without changing your relationships.

Facebook Reset & Feed Control hides selected kinds of feed content locally after Facebook loads them. Ads, suggested posts, and Reels go first, and the Facebook Home page can lose its side menus, Stories, post box, and floating chat. Add your own words and topics when you want tighter control.

Answer

What Feed Control changes

Detect

Watch the feed you open

Local detectors inspect posts as Facebook loads them in the active desktop tab. Uncertain posts stay visible.

Hide

Collapse matching posts

A small placeholder records why a post was hidden and provides a Show once control.

Recover

Review what was hidden

Hidden posts lists what was hidden and why, plus local mutes, so you can reveal a post or remove a mute.

Filters

Start free, then choose more

Hiding Facebook ads is free and has no limit. So is the free starter set of Suggested for you and Reels and Watch, and you can add suggested Page, suggested group, and People You May Know filters at no cost. Pro adds filters for AI-labelled content, engagement bait, duplicates, repeated reshares, and Comment Shield.

  • Your own words and topics.Save up to 500 filters for words, phrases, hashtags, domains, sources, or topics. Free runs 3 at a time and the rest wait, paused, in the list.
  • Comment Shield.Pro matches your words in the comments under a post as well as in the post itself.
  • Local meaning.A hidden post is still loaded by Facebook. The extension changes only what this browser displays.

Ads

Hide ads and clean up Facebook Home

Detected ads are hidden in the Feed, down the side, and in the Reels strip. Choose whether an ad is removed outright or replaced with a small marker, and whether to match all likely ads or only the ones Facebook labels. A local advertiser block list keeps matching ads out of this browser.

The Facebook Home page can lose the parts you never read: the side menus, Stories, the post box, and floating chat. Turn Feed Control off and all of it comes back immediately.

Both are free and have no limit. Ads are hidden after Facebook has already loaded them, so ad and tracking requests still happen. Matching topics by meaning is a Pro option and depends on supported local Chrome model availability; it does not send post text to a remote model.

Setup

Turn it on in three steps

1

Install the extension

Add Facebook Reset & Feed Control from the Chrome Web Store. It does not ask for a Facebook password.

2

Open desktop Facebook

Use the Facebook account already signed in to Chrome, then open the extension panel.

3

Open Feed

Turn Feed Control on, then choose which ads, suggestions, and Home page parts to hide, and add your own words and topics.

Scroll normally. Review placeholders in the feed and open Hidden posts when you want to show an item again.

FAQ

Facebook Feed Control FAQ

Suggested

Can it hide Suggested for you?

Yes. Matching suggested posts are hidden after Facebook loads them, with a local Show once placeholder.

Relationships

Will it unfollow anyone?

No. Feed Control does not unfollow, unfriend, or alter a Facebook relationship.

Blocking

Does it block ads or tracking?

It hides ads, it does not block them. Ads are removed after Facebook has already loaded them, so Facebook network requests and Meta tracking are unchanged.

Rules

Can I hide words or topics?

Free supports local word, phrase, hashtag, domain, source, and topic filters, running 3 at a time. Pro runs every saved filter, adds Comment Shield, and can match topics by meaning when supported local Chrome features are available.

Hidden posts

Can I reveal a hidden post?

Yes. Use Show once on the placeholder, or review hidden posts and local mutes under Hidden posts.

Privacy

Does post content leave Chrome?

Feed rules and hidden-post records stay local. Optional diagnostics exclude Facebook content, names, identifiers, rules, URLs, and raw history.

Start by hiding the ads.

Hide ads, suggested posts, and Reels locally, and tidy the Home page, all free. Upgrade only if the extra filters or running more than three of your own are useful to you.
