Clean up and Customize Facebook with F.B. Purity
FB Purity lets you clean up and customize Facebook
Changes in F.B Purity v29.4.6
- Updated the Auto Hide filter so it can now Auto Hide image posts if the text in your Auto Hide filters matches the text Facebook has detected embedded in image posts.
- Fixed bug that caused the page to scroll up to the top when clicking on “See More” comment links
- Fixed the squashed text in the bottom line of posts that feature large font sizes and coloured backgrounds, when you have the “Normalize Colored / Big Font Statuses” option turned on.
- New Option to hide the new “Rooms” box that has appeared under the Status update box on the Newsfeed. The option to hide “Rooms” is located under the “More Options” heading on the FBP options screen.
Known Issue:
Facebook have recently launched a new Reaction type titled “Care” and if you are using FBP’s custom Reaction image sets, you will notice that the custom reaction image for “Angry” is shown if you select “Care” this is not on purpose, its just a side effect caused by Facebook’s code change. It would take too much effort to update all the image sets with a new image for care, and would also take a lot of time to fix the coding to allow the new reaction image, and the fact the new Facebook design is looming, with all new code, means its not worth updating the code for this issue at present.
BTW If you find autoplaying “Watch Party” video posts in your newsfeed annoying, especially as they do not obey Facebook’s dont autoplay videos setting, one thing you can do is to filter out all Watch Party posts from your Newsfeed by putting the text Watch Party into FBP’s Text Filter or Auto Hide filter boxes, that will effectively hide all watch party posts from your Newsfeed.
Important Information for Chrome Users of F.B. Purity
FBP Chrome Update Process: After FB Purity for Chrome is first installed, you should from then on receive automatic updates (Chrome checks for extension updates once every 5 hours). If you don’t want to wait, and know an update is available you can force an update by turning on “Developer Mode” on the Chrome extensions management page, then clicking the “Update” button at the top of the page (make sure you don’t have any facebook tabs open, so Chrome can unload the existing version first).
To let other Google Chrome users know that FBP is safe and a great way to clean up Facebook Please leave a 5* review for F.B. Purity in the Google Chrome Webstore
Important information for Firefox users of F.B. Purity
Once you have installed the Firefox version of FB Purity, it should auto-update itself when I release new versions. Firefox users who are getting the “Connection Failure” error when trying to install FBP should know this is a known bug in Firefox that occurs if you are using Antivirus software that monitors your web browsing. The work-around, as mentioned in the FAQ is to right click on the install button, then select save, then install the extension by dragging and dropping it on to the Firefox extension management page. This Firefox bug can also prevent Firefox from automatically updating FBP when new versions are released.
Important Information for Microsft Edge users of F.B. Purity
FB Purity is now available as an official Microsoft Edge extension obtainable directly from the Microsoft Edge store If you install the official Edge FBP extension from the Microsoft Edge store, it should auto-update when new versions are released in future. Be aware however that the Microsoft Store has a slow (manual) approval process for accepting extension updates, so the new version will not show up in the Microsoft Store for a day or two after I release an extension update.

Changes in F.B Purity v29.2.2
Known Issue with “Clear Advertisers” functionality: Facebook has changed the way the advertisers page works, its no longer possible to clear the advertisers on the facebook ad preferences page, they now expect you to contact each Advertiser on that page individually, and ask them to remove you from their marketing lists / databases etc, they should give use a simpler way to do this, as it is a lot of work and a very annoying and inefficient process.
