Maintaining and Updating FB Purity is a lot of work, so if you have been using FBP for a while, and can afford it, donations are always welcome, heaps of gratitude to those who have donated to the cause already, Cheers!<\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Changes in this release<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fixed<\/strong> the &#8220;<strong>Hide Sponsored Box \/ Posts<\/strong>&#8221; option to hide the new &#8220;<strong>Suggested For You<\/strong>&#8221; box (which is a box containing a list of videos Facebook thinks you should watch, located to right of the Newsfeed). This option is turned on by default when you first install FB Purity, so just installing or updating FBP should be enough to remove the &#8220;<strong>Suggested For You<\/strong>&#8221; box.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fixed <\/strong>the<strong> &#8220;Sort Notifications Chronologically&#8221; <\/strong>option. <strong>**Update**<\/strong> it seems there&#8217;s still a minor bug in this option, but it shouldn&#8217;t happen too often, where sometimes the notifications list may go blank if you are receiving lots of notifications at a rapid pace. If this happens just close the list and re-open it and it should show up again. Alternatively, if its causing problems you could turn this option off for now, and just click the &#8220;<strong>See All<\/strong>&#8221; link at the bottom of the notifications list, as that will show your notifications sorted chronologically too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fixed<\/strong>\u00a0&#8220;<strong>Hide all Videos<\/strong>&#8221; option<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fixed <\/strong>the <strong>hide &#8220;Graphical Smileys \/ Emoticons&#8221; <\/strong>option<\/li>\n<li><strong>New <\/strong>option titled <strong>&#8220;Apply &#8216;Text Filter&#8217; to Trending Box&#8221;, <\/strong>located on the Trending Box options screen, which can be accessed by clicking the cogwheel icon at the top left of the &#8220;<strong>Trending Box&#8221;<\/strong>.

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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0To let other Microsoft Edge users know that FBP is safe and a great way to clean up Facebook\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/store\/productid\/9MXGZZ40KDLN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Please leave a 5* review for F.B.
