News Feed Eradicator
Replaces your social media feeds with a quote.
Why it's a strong pick
News Feed Eradicator does one job and does it simply. It removes the feed and nothing else. The project calls itself “done” and only takes bug fixes, so it won’t grow new features or change under you. It is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license, with its code public on GitHub.
What it does
It removes the news feed on social sites and shows a quote in its place. You can still use the site for what you need, such as messages or pages. You just can’t fall into the endless scroll.
Key features
- Feed removal. Deletes the news feed on social media sites.
- A quote instead. Where the feed was, you see a quote.
- The rest still works. Messages, pages and the other parts of the site stay usable.
- Minimal by design. The project is finished and accepts only bug fixes.
- Chrome and Firefox. Builds for both browsers.
- Open source. AGPL-3.0, with the code on GitHub.
Who it's for
News Feed Eradicator suits people who want to keep a social account for messages, groups or work, but drop the feed. If you want to stay off a site completely during set hours, LeechBlock NG is the better fit.
Good to know
The project calls itself “done” and only accepts bug fixes. That keeps it simple and stable, but don't expect new features or support for new sites. Before you install, check the Chrome Web Store listing to see which social sites it covers. If the site that distracts you is not on the list, LeechBlock NG can block it on a schedule instead.
How do I stop doomscrolling in Chrome?
Remove the feed instead of relying on willpower. News Feed Eradicator deletes the news feed on social sites and puts a quote in its place, so there is nothing to scroll. You can still send messages and visit pages. To block a site completely at certain times, add LeechBlock NG as well.
What is a good alternative to News Feed Eradicator?
It depends on what distracts you. For YouTube, use RYS: Remove YouTube Suggestions, which hides recommendations, Shorts and comments. To block any site on a schedule or after a time limit, use LeechBlock NG. Both are open source, like News Feed Eradicator. See our distraction blockers guide to compare them.
Is News Feed Eradicator safe?
News Feed Eradicator is open source under AGPL-3.0, so its code is public on GitHub and anyone can check what it does. The project is minimal and now takes only bug fixes, so changes are rare. As with any extension, read the permissions on the Chrome Web Store listing before you install.
