Important News for Chrome users of FBP:
Facebook’s legal team have made Google remove the Chrome extension from the Chrome Webstore due to claimed Trademark Infringement. I am in the process of getting this resolved. Until that is sorted, the install/update process for the Chrome extension has changed. You now need to save the extension to your computer, then drag it on to the Chrome Extensions page. (Full instructions for doing this are shown on the Install Page in red text below the green “Install F.B. Purity” button)
Install / Update the latest version of F.B. Purity by clicking the green “Install F.B. Purity” button on the F.B. Purity Install Page.
If you have any problems or questions with/about FBP, please use the available help resources on this website, including the FBP User Guide, and FBP FAQ page which includes a comprehensive Troubleshooting Guide that you should follow if you have any problems.

**News Update Regarding Facebook notifications for “X new posts” on the FBP Fan Page**
Facebook have changed some code regarding the notifications for the FB Purity Fan Page and it seems to be rather buggy, it is posting notifications that there are new posts when there aren’t any. The solution is to hover over the “Like” button on the FB Purity Fan Page and unsubscribe from notifications. You no longer need Facebook’s notifications because the FB Purity extension now has its own notification system for new posts on the FBP Fan Page built in (make sure you have the “Show FBP News Notifications” box ticked under the “Text Filter” box on the FBP options screen to receive FBP News notifications)
FBP TIP: If you are being blitzed by posts about “Pokemon Go” in your newsfeed and want them gone. Putting the words pokemon and pokémon into FBP‘s Text Filter box should filter out most pokemon posts. Or if you want greater coverage, heres a longer list of keywords/phrases you can put into the Text Filter box, that should filter out even more Pokemon related posts:
Pokémon
Pokemon
pokeball
Pokéball
pokestop
pokéstop
pokegym
pokégym
pokélure
pokelure
pokécoin
pokecoin
Team Instinct
TeamInstinct
Team Valor
TeamValor
Team Mystic
TeamMystic
Team Rocket
TeamRocket

how can I take advantage of all these clean ups? Is there a “help” page?
Yes there is indeed. Please read the F.B. Purity User Guide page to learn how FB Purity works.
Help please. I left a message on another page. Thought it was the home.
Trouble with this add-on I believe. Had to remove today and now my computer is working just fine. I would like to be able to use this but perhaps it was installed wrong?
In Firefox on my Mac, I could not go to my usual bookmarked pages, or it took about five minutes to find the page, then I could not scroll but every 5 minutes or so! So disappointed. Had it installed for FB only. My husband did it in a hurry (he is a software expert), but maybe something went wrong. It worked fine yesterday. Can you help please? ALSO the biggest PUZZLE – WHEN I GOT BACK TO MY HOME PAGE THE SEARCH GOOGLE BOX AT THE TOP HAD A SEARCH I PERFORMED MONTHS AGO FOR A TV SHOW THAT WAS CANCELLED SO I KNOW I DID NOT SEARCH FOR IT FOR MONTHS???? THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE PURITY.
