Strengths

  • ✓ Free and open source — over a decade of active development
  • ✓ Covers Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube, Reddit, LinkedIn, Instagram, and more

  • ✓ 4.68/5 average rating across thousands of reviews
  • ✓ No data collection

Weaknesses

  • ✕ The 2025 UI redesign was poorly received by long-term users
  • ✕ Some users report Facebook Reels still leaking through after updates
  • ✕ Per-site snooze (temporary disable) was removed in the redesign
  • ✕ No keyword filtering — block is all-or-nothing per platform

News Feed Eradicator is a free, open-source browser extension that removes the algorithmic feed from Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube, Reddit, LinkedIn, and Instagram, replacing each with an inspirational quote. As of May 2026 it remains the single most-installed nuclear feed-removal tool. Install it when you want to keep using a platform's utility (messaging, search, posting) but eliminate the doomscroll entirely.

What NFE does well

  • Covers every major platform in a single install. One extension; eight or more feeds gone.
  • Per-site control. Don’t want the feed gone on YouTube? Toggle YouTube off, leave Twitter on.
  • Replaces the feed with a quote rather than just hiding it. The visual emptiness is the point — there’s nothing left to scroll.
  • Free, open source, no telemetry. Code on GitHub.

What NFE doesn’t do

  • Keyword filtering. It’s all-or-nothing per platform. If you want to keep Reddit but block politics, you want Ultimate Reddit Filter instead.
  • Friction or lockouts. You can disable it in two clicks. NFE works by removing temptation, not by locking you out.
  • Mobile. Browser extension only. NFE doesn’t cover the native iOS/Android apps.
  • Snooze. The per-site temporary-disable was removed in the 2025 redesign — a sore point for long-term users.

Best for

People who’ve tried keyword filters and the feed still pulls them in. NFE is the next step up in aggression: don’t filter the feed, eliminate the feed.

Setup in 60 seconds

  1. Install from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons.
  2. Open any social site. The feed is already gone.
  3. Click the NFE icon to toggle per-site enable/disable.
  4. (Optional) replace the default quotes with your own list in the settings.

Alternatives

  • Social Feed Blocker — modern NFE-style fork with Shorts/Reels blocking and a “things you missed” counter.
  • Unhook — YouTube-specific, more granular toggles (homepage, sidebar, Shorts independently).
  • Ultimate Reddit Filter — keyword-level for Reddit specifically, not nuclear.
