Auntie Kate The Resale Expert

Do you resent the time Facebook gobbles up out of your life? You go to Facebook just to do specific things (post, check messages, participate in a group) and all of a sudden, it’s a half-hour (or an hour!) later and your life has not been enriched in any way?

There’s a solution.

Kill the newsfeed. Yup, there’s an app for that (actually, it’s a Chrome browser extension), and that’s what it’s called. Here’s what they say about themselves:

Saves you time by getting rid of Facebook news feed.

Kills the news feed and replaces it with a message reminding you not to get distracted. That’s it. You can still check your messages and notifications, post status updates, and do everything you could do before. You just won’t get distracting news feed posts anymore.

No more wasting time on Facebook. No more getting distracted when you log on to send a message. It’s that simple.

And yes, if you miss peering in on others’ lives, you can turn it off. You do need to use the Chrome browser for this to work. But that might be a small price to pay for getting all that wasted time back.
