Review Summary

Social Fixer for Facebook is praised for its extensive customization and effective filtering of unwanted Facebook content, such as sponsored and suggested posts. Many users found it invaluable for managing their Facebook feed and preventing unintended posts. However, the extension is no longer supported or maintained on Chrome, leading to decreased performance and functionality. Reviews consistently mention that sponsored posts are no longer reliably blocked, and the interface has become complicated and frustrating for some users. Despite its powerful features, users feel disappointed that it no longer meets their expectations due to lack of updates and bugs.

Pros

  • Highly customizable with many options to filter Facebook content.
  • Effectively blocks sponsored posts and suggested posts when working properly.
  • Helpful for managing and reducing unwanted Facebook content, such as hiding posts from groups and filtering keywords.
  • Used to work reliably and effectively for many users.
  • Provides useful features like preventing Facebook from auto-posting comments on pressing Enter.

Cons

  • No longer maintained or supported as a Chrome extension, resulting in decreased functionality.
  • Fails to block sponsored posts and suggested posts consistently, which was a primary reason users installed it.
  • Complicated and aggressive interface with small fonts and difficult-to-navigate settings.
  • Random notifications and repeated opening of the settings menu on page refresh causing annoyance.
  • Some filtering features, like hiding posts from groups or keyword filtering, are unreliable or partially ineffective.
