The Internet is a key element in these times, something that we use every day from our desktops, or from mobile devices. In addition, its use extends to all kinds of fields, both professional and more related to leisure. Here are very important the browsers that we use constantly like Google Chrome, Firefox or Edge, among many others.
These are programs that present us with a wide range of possibilities so that we can make the most of our online world. They allow us to work, play games, read news, watch movies, listen to music, or interact with others. There are many proposals of this type that we can use, as you may know, but without a doubt the most used of all is Google. Specifically, we are referring to Chrome , a program that is used on all types of devices and platforms and that has around 60% market penetration.
Well, despite the doubts and criticism it generates in many users, most continue to opt for it for their daily lives on the Internet. To its widespread use, in these lines we want to add one of the types that we most often use, such as social networks . These, for years, allow us to maintain online contact with users from all over the world, as well as interact with them. They also allow us to share all kinds of content in real time, depending on the social network we are referring to.
In fact, below we are going to talk about what for many and for years, is the proposal of this type par excellence, Facebook . This platform owned by Zuckerberg , despite the controversy it generates among many, is used on a massive scale throughout the world. What’s more, for many Facebook is one of the first websites that millions of users enter every morning and keep it open the rest of the day.
Chrome extensions to take advantage of Facebook
Therefore, if we combine both elements, in order to get the most out of the social network we are talking about, we can make use of some Chrome extensions. Specifically, we are referring to a series of add-ons that are going to be added to the Google browser so that we can get even more out of the social network. At the same time, what we are going to achieve is a user experience with it that is much more pleasant and productive than before.
Social Fixer for Facebook
This is an extension that allows us to filter the content that we see on the wall of the social network as well as hide what we do not want to see. Therefore, this will help us to personalize the Facebook experience by seeing what interests us. At the same time, it filters the publications by content, author, URL, etc. All this we can customize to our liking, although we also have a series of predefined filters .
These will allow us to hide sponsored messages, political messages, things that your friends like, publications already seen, and much more.
Last Faced
Changing third, now we are going to talk about a much simpler extension than the one previously mentioned, it is Last Faced . However, despite its simplicity, it is certainly very useful to us. The reason for this is that it focuses on letting us know when our contacts were last connected to the social network itself. Surely this is something that will be very useful for many.
Friends feed for Facebook
Over the years, the content that Facebook shows us by default on the wall has become a focus of advertising and things without interest. Well, thanks to this proposal, enjoy only the posts of our friends and the pages that we follow. In this way we will no longer miss the actual publications of our contacts. At the same time the extension hides all the stories of what they liked or commented on but that we are not interested in.
Backstory
It can also be the case that we have a large number of friends in the social network that we are talking about, so being able to manage those contacts in the best way can be very helpful. Thus, with this extension that we are talking about here, Backstory, we will have the possibility of managing Facebook contacts more efficiently.
This we did not achieve thanks to the fact that we will be able to add private labels and notes for profiles, copy those notes from public information, or make more specific contact searches . In addition the plugin allows to synchronize and make backups on various devices.
Mogicons
Many users of the aforementioned social network make use of emoticons in order to interact with other users in the best possible way. Well, after installing this extension that we refer to here, we will no longer have to be content with the ones that Facebook includes. Thanks to it we will have the possibility of adding more elements of this type from Google Chrome .
In this way and additionally we will have hundreds of varied emojis belonging to all kinds of themes. You have to know that the emoticons that we use through this extension are visible to everyone else, whether they have the extension installed or not.
FB Purity
As we have previously mentioned, the personal wall of the social network over time has been filled with content that we want to see. That is why through this extension that we propose, we can customize and choose what we really want to be shown in it. At the same time we have the possibility to customize how it will look, or configure the left bar of the platform interface. In the same way we can hide content, change the colors and the type of font.
QCLean
Actually what we are going to achieve with QClean after installing it on Facebook, is to remove the ads, the suggested pages and the news publications. This supposes an important cleaning of our wall of elements that we really do not want or need to see when accessing the social network. It is also an open source extension to hide ads and sponsored posts on the platform. With this, what we achieve is having a cleaner interface and seeing what really interests us.
Facebook Demetricator
Next we are going to talk about an extension that hides all Facebook metrics . With this we are referring to all those numbers or metrics that measure and present our social value and activity on the platform. Here data such as the friends we have, our likes, comments , etc. come into play. At the same time we will see the number of likes, the messages you have waiting, and many more things that are measured from here.
Therefore, after installing Facebook Demetricator we will be able to hide all these metrics if we wish.
Unfriendly
Friends come and go on Facebook, as most of you already know. So if we want to know those who have abandoned us, this extension helps us. So Unfriendly will show us a notification when someone stops being our friend on Facebook. At the same time we will have the opportunity to see how the friends list has changed over time, which can be curious.
Thus, all these extensions that we have told you about, make the day-to-day experience with Facebook better in an ostensible way. Both in dealing with contacts and with the information that we are going to see, the use of these accessories will be very useful to us.
