Wait until you login to Facebook! You end up spending almost a third of your day scrolling your Facebook feeds.

Maybe you are just fed up with viewing fake news that populates the news feeds section, adverts, and trivial updates from acquaintances, but you still want to retain your active account.
Well, before you think of uninstalling your Facebook app or closing your account, you need to read this.
What if there was a way you get rid of all the annoying Facebook news feed but still retain the essential parts of Facebook such as Messenger, friends, and group updates?
Thank your stars because I have something that will sort you out big time.
Meet Kill News Feed.
What is Kill News Feed?
Ever heard of Kill News Feed? I came across this chrome extension a while ago while surfing the net and it has been a lifesaver for me.
Kill News Feed is a pretty cool Chrome extension that allows you to block the Facebook News Feed. It works by hiding your news feeds section and replacing it with a message reminding you not to get distracted.
The best thing is, it leaves all the other sections intact. You can still access your beloved Messenger, follow and view your friends and group images and other content.
Here is how it looks like on a desktop.
Download it from this link. But you have to be using Google chrome browser to access it.
Why Install the Kill News Feed Extension?
Productivity
Social media has had an enormously positive effect in the world, especially when it comes to marketing and socialising.
However:
The same social media has had its share of adverse effects. We can all admit how we plan to visit Facebook and Instagram for only ten minutes.
But:
We end up spending more than an hour without knowing or even two whopping hours.
Kill News Feed extension is particularly built to enable you to plan your working time better to increase your productivity. By blocking the Facebook news feed, you eliminate the chance of getting tempted to scroll all day.
Plus, it reminds you to remain focused through the message that appears on the news feed section.
Be sure by installing this extension, you are guaranteed to help you complete the work that you have been postponing for days.
No More of the Boring Facebook
Do you ever miss the good old Facebook of 2005? The one that didn’t have all those profile pic updates and boring headlines and news updates?
Let’s be honest:
Facebook should have already thought of getting rid of news feed if they cared about people’s productivity. But they can’t do that. Its where they generate their income from.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean Facebook is bad. It’s only that it could be more productive to its users if it had just the right tools such as Messenger and the social section.
By installing Kill news feed extension, you get rid of the annoying staff so that you can focus on what is essential such as messaging and following your friends and group posts.
How To Install The Extension
The installation process is quite straightforward. All you need to do after clicking the link above is install it on your chrome browser and you are done.
The extension usually activates with no action required from your part. However, if the extension does not activate itself automatically, you might be required to activate it manually by visiting the settings options on chrome.
Alternatively, you can check for any extension you might have installed that might be preventing other extensions from operating.
Activating and Deactivating
There are those moments you only feel like scrolling social media feeds to find out what the trending topics are, or just to find out the latest gossips and news. Maybe during the weekends or at night before heading to sleep.
Well, this extension creates room for that too.
Just like any other chrome extension, you can activate or deactivate it at any time you wish.
Is this a good thing?
Definitely yes!
If you are the kind that loves Facebook so much but you are finding it distracting, you can plan to activate the extension during the morning hours when you are busy working, and deactivate it when you are free or any time you feel like you need some time off to relax your mind.
Conclusion
Kill Newsfeed is a must-have Google Chrome extension for everyone who uses Facebook. Whether you love the news feed section but you find it distracting, or you just hate it with all you got, this tool will get you sorted in an instant.
