F.B. Purity v38.3.0 – Clean up and Customize Facebook<\/p><\/div>\n

F.B. Purity v38.3.0 is out now. It should fix most problems with filtering Sponsored and Suggested (aka Follow\/Join) posts.<\/p>\n

The chrome, edge and opera versions of fbp v38.3.0 have been out for a day or so now, so your browser should have autoupdated by now, (if it hasnt go to your browser’s extensions management page, turn on developer mode at the top of the page, then click the update button at the top of the page)<\/p>\n

If you are using firefox, that version of the fbp extension was just approved today, so you can either wait for it to autoupdate, or go to the browser’s extensions management page and force it to update there, or if that doesnt work, just reinstall the updated firefox extension over the top of the old version via https:\/\/install.fbpurity.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you are using the GM Script version of FBP, depending on your userscript manager extension’s settings it may have autoupdated or not, if it hasn’t you should check your userscript manager’s autoupdate settings for scripts, or you can simply reinstall the FBP GM Script over the old version to get the latest version.<\/span><\/p>\n
