The 9 best extensions to make Facebook better

Δείτε τις 9 καλύτερες επεκτάσεις για προγράμματα that will make Facebook much better. Full range from seeing who unfriended you to removing those pesky sidebar boxes!

If you have access to Facebook from a computer and not from your mobile device, then it is easy to customize its appearance to your liking, using extensions.

Browsers like Chrome και το Mozilla Firefox προσφέρουν την δυνατότητα να τους προσθέσετε επεκτάσεις, δηλαδή μικρές that change the way you use the browser, and of course change the way you interact with Facebook, either by adding features or removing unwanted elements.

Let's look at the 9 best extensions you can install today…

1. Social Fixer


Available in: Chrome, User Script

Of all the extensions for Facebook, Social Fixer is the most popular and the most complete solution. It offers a long list of features that help make Facebook a more enjoyable experience.

Some of the top extension tools include ways to turn off posted posts or make your news feed display newer posts first. It also has a news feed filter and a friend manager that lets you know when someone took you out of a friend.

You can even use Social Fixer to reset Facebook 2020 redesign, so that the site displays the old layout.

2. FB Purity

Available in: Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari, Opera

Like Social Fixer, FB Purity is an all-in-one tool that can overhaul many aspects of the original Facebook when viewed in a browser.

Some of the best features include Hide Ads, Hide Related Posts, Hide Upcoming Events, and Hide Featured Games. You can also go back to the old Facebook layout and turn off video playback automatically.

3. Privacy Badger

Available in: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera

It's no secret that Facebook stores data for its users (and, perhaps more worryingly, for its non-users). In fact, there are many ways in which Facebook invades your privacy and many people feel increasingly uncomfortable with the level of intrusion.

If you want a way to stop Facebook from doing all this monitoring, check out Privacy Badger. This is an official extension from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) that will prevent third-party advertisers from collecting information as you browse the web - including Facebook.

4. Unseen for Facebook

Available in: Chrome

Είμαστε όλοι εξοικειωμένοι με την ιδέα ότι όταν διαβάζετε ένα μήνυμα που κάποιος σας έχει στείλει στο Facebook, ο αποστολέας θα γνωρίζει ότι το έχετε ανοίξει και το έχετε διαβάζει, χάρη σε ένα εικονίδιο s in its own chat window.

To prevent this from happening, check out UnSeen. It will allow you to read Facebook messages without activating the "read message" alert on the sender.

Unfortunately it is only available in Chrome. Released under the same name in other browsers but not from the same manufacturer,

5. Photo Zoom For Facebook

Available in: Chrome, Firefox, Safari

Every time you scroll through a Facebook feed, you probably know that all the photos are shrinking on the screen. This is not just happening on Facebook. All social networks have this technique built in, partly for data savings and secondly because of the practical problems of using a computer monitor.

However, if you want to see a full size photo on Facebook, you have to click on it. If you like to study a lot of friends' photos, this quickly becomes tedious.

Photo Zoom for Facebook eliminates the need for clicks. Once you have installed the extension, simply hovering over a photo in the news feed will display its full size.

6. Friends Feed

Available in: Chrome, Safari

If you're old enough and remember the early years of Facebook, you know that streaming news was a much more fun place to hang out. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case.

The feed is powered by posts that you are not interested in, either because your friends like them or because a company has paid to display its content in front of your eyes.

The Friends Feed extension gets rid of these posts. The only updates you will see will come either from your friends or from pages and people you actively follow.

7. Friend Convert

Available in: Chrome

If you're the admin of a large Facebook group, you might want to check out the extension Convert. It allows you to add friends to a group in bulk, but it also allows you to remove people from a group in bulk.

This is especially useful if the group operates under the condition of a membership, where the list of active participants is constantly changing.

8. Multiple Tools For Facebook

Available in: Chrome

Managing your Facebook profile, page or group can be a tedious task. Indeed, most businesses now have to employ an entire team to run the company's social media presence ς για να διατηρούν την κορυφή των ατελείωτων and control contact requests.

Multiple Tools is a Facebook extension that specializes in automation. It has a control panel that will display all your details, as well as ways to automate privacy settings for posting, receiving messages, and incoming and outgoing requests from friends and groups.

You can also use the extension to block pop-up messages, block it message delivery and even find out which groups your friends have joined.

9. Image Cleaner

Available in: Chrome

Facebook doesn't really want you to delete your photos. Consequently, there is no bulk mode of your old pictures.

Sure, you can delete photos individually , and that's good if you want to, for example, get rid of an embarrassing snapshot from a night out. However, if you want to purge photos, Facebook makes it nearly impossible without deleting your account entirely.

Image Cleaner solves the problem. You can delete photos, albums and videos with a single click (without confirmation screen). It also adds a check box to multimedia components so you can select and delete multiple files at once.

Should Facebook inherently include these features?
It's somewhat unfortunate that we have to switch to third-party extensions for Facebook to access some of these features. If nothing else, their absence is an indictment of the true guiding principles of Facebook. As has been the case for several years, this is a profit derived from the user experience.

Hopefully, Facebook will change its attitude and make the site more user friendly, although we do not have high hopes. For now, these extensions should suffice.

  1. Good Evening. I will put my question here and if I make a mistake in the unit I apologize.
    Why when I receive a message or any other notification ("I like it" etc.), except for the voice call - video chat, on facebook, the corresponding audio signal is not heard?
    It also happens when I go to the facebook tab κάποια to some other, adjacent.
    The web browsers that use and attack the same, are the following:
    Mozilla Firefox - Google Chrome - Microsoft Edge.
    The settings: "Incoming call and message sounds" are enabled.
    I enter the system only from a laptop and I do not have the messenger application separately.
    It also happens after the add-ons are deactivated.
    It also happens on another computer.
    To friends I experimented ἱ Sounds worked fine. It started 1 - 2 months ago.
    Additional help:
    I am in the Version - Windows 10 Pro - 20H2.
    Are there any settings on my computer that I may have changed without wanting to?

    Thanks.
