What News Feed Eradicator is

The extension removes the feed on supported social networks and shows an inspirational quote in its place, leaving the rest of each site usable. The developer builds it as a WebExtension for Chrome and Firefox, keeps it deliberately minimal, and mainly accepts bug fixes.

Feature coverage

  • Feeds replaced by a quote on supported sites
  • Rest of each site remains usable
  • Chrome and Firefox versions

What stands out

  • Strong rating on a solid sample
  • Open source under AGPL-3.0
  • Developer declares no data collection

Tradeoffs to know

  • Hides feeds only, with no schedules or limits
  • Site redesigns can break feed removal
  • Maintainer treats it as feature-complete

Permissions and privacy

Page access

It needs to change the pages of the social sites whose feeds it hides, and its job does not require access beyond those sites. Chrome's extension details page shows which sites it can reach; trimming that list to the networks you actually use keeps its footprint small.

Data notes

The listing declares no data collection, and there is no account or sync service behind the extension. Its code is public on GitHub, so its behavior can be checked rather than taken on trust. The only external link on the listing is the project's Facebook page.

Pricing

Free and open source. Pricing and plan limits change more often than store metadata, so use the linked developer page as the final check before subscribing.
