Changes in F.B Purity v29.0.6

  • Fixed the “Clear Advertisers” button
  • Fixed the “Custom Reactions” functionality
  • Fixed the Hide “Pages” left column link option. (This option has actually been renamed from “Pages Section” to just “Pages” as Facebook removed the “Pages Section” of the left column quite a while ago now)
  • Fixed the Hide “Stories” option for when the Stories box appears in between posts in the Newsfeed.

Important Information for Chrome Users of F.B. Purity

Recent FBP Chrome news. FB Purity was rather abruptly removed from the Chrome Webstore recently by Google, as they wrongly claimed FBP was violating one of their policies. I and many FBP users protested against this, and we eventually got it re-listed again.

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).

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. Please also note FBP is now also available in the Edge Store for the new development version of Edge that is based on Chromium.

Important Information for Opera users of F.B. Purity

The FB Purity extension for Opera needs to be installed via the official Opera Add-ons site, which is where the green Install F.B. Purity button will take you to. Once it has been installed from there, whenever updates to the FBP extension are uploaded and approved on the Opera extensions site (this process can take a few days after I upload an update), the version of FBP in your browser should auto-update at some point. It can sometimes be triggered by closing the browser, waiting a bit and re-opening it, there is also an “Update Extensions Now” button on the Opera extensions management page, which if clicked will update all your Opera extensions to the latest versions. In order for the extension to update you may need to first close any open Facebook tabs.

    Hey thanks for working to make things better. But I took it a step further and quit fb. Privacy issues was pretty apparent to me from the beginning. In the year 2000, I couldn’t understand why I should give a complete strange entity, fb my full name and information… When my friend asked me to join. So naturally I made up a goofy name. Then fb over the years became more restrictive and less relevant to me. What was once full of friends entertaining posts, were replaced by ads, news, political memes and needy attention seekers mundane BS.

    That was still tolerable, but as soon as I criticized standing rock abuse, etc. Fb all of a sudden became interested in verifying my identity. That was the last straw for me.

    And with Cambridge Analytic scandal coming to light. Things should be pretty obvious to folks that weren’t paying attention.
