Reset · Bulk cleanup

Four steps. You hold the trigger the whole way.

The panel opens on top of Facebook, reads the list you are looking at, and waits. It does nothing until you select items and confirm.

  1. 01
    Find

    The list is read from the page you have open. Nothing is clicked or scrolled on your behalf.

  2. 02
    Select

    Tick items, search, or use quick select. Groups you admin are marked and cannot be selected. Mark anything you never want selected as Always keep.

  3. 03
    Run

    One item at a time, with a live count. Pause or stop between items. Facebook stays open so you can see it happen.

  4. 04
    Results

    Each item is checked on Facebook and marked done, skipped, failed, or unverified. The record is saved to Past changes.

Feed Control · This browser only

A quieter feed, without changing a single relationship.

Turn it on once. Ads, suggestions, and Reels go as Facebook loads them, and the Home page loses the parts you never read. Hidden posts leave a small placeholder with Show once and are listed under Hidden posts.

  1. 01
    Hide Facebook ads

    Hide detected ads in the Feed, down the side, and in the Reels strip. Remove the ad outright or leave a small marker. Match all likely ads or only the ones Facebook labels. Keep one advertiser's ads out with a local block list. Free, with no limit.

  2. 02
    Clean up Facebook Home

    Hide the side menus, Stories, the post box, and floating chat. Turn Feed Control off and all of it comes back immediately. Free, with no limit.

  3. 03
    Filters

    Suggested posts, suggested Pages and groups, People You May Know, Reels and Watch. Pro adds AI-labelled content, engagement bait, duplicates, repeated reshares, and Comment Shield.

  4. 04
    Your own words and topics

    Hide by word, phrase, hashtag, domain, source, or topic, with optional expiry. Save up to 500; Free runs three at a time and the rest wait, paused, in the list.

  5. 05
    On each post

    A small menu on every post to mute or quiet a source, hide a post for this session, or start a filter from the post itself.

What it is not. Ads and posts are hidden after Facebook has already loaded them. Ad and tracking requests are not blocked. Hiding a post does not unfollow or unfriend anyone.

Read the Facebook Feed Control guide.

The Words and topics screen with three filters running, two paused, ready-made topics, and export and import controls.

Past changes · Everything stays in this browser

Every change has a paper trail.

A run writes a record: what the item was before, what was asked, and what Facebook showed afterwards. Past changes keeps all of it, on your device, with export.

  1. 01
    Past runs

    Each run with per-item lines such as “Before: member, following” and “Checked on Facebook: expected left, saw left”. Export as JSON or CSV.

  2. 02
    Unverified

    Actions that were sent but not confirmed. Not failed, not safe to retry blindly. Open each one and check. Nothing is retried automatically.

  3. 03
    Always keep

    Items you marked so they are never selected automatically. Clear the mark from the list itself.

  4. 04
    Hidden posts

    Every hidden post with its reason, plus muted people. Reveal a post or clear a mute.

The Hidden posts screen with six illustrative local records and Show once if current buttons.

Boundaries

What it does, and what it will not pretend to do.

A small tool that does five jobs carefully. If you need one of the jobs on the right, use a tool built for it.

Does

  • Leaves groups you joined, cancels pending joins, unfollows groups, and sets group notifications to off or highlights.
  • Unfollows Pages you liked and people or Pages you follow.
  • Unfriends and cancels sent friend requests.
  • Restricts or blocks a friend, and undoes either. Blocking is stronger than unfollowing and does not restore friendship when you unblock.
  • Hides posts locally with built-in filters or your own words and topics, with Show once for current posts.
  • Records every action with what Facebook showed afterwards, exportable.
  • Works from the Facebook tab you have open in desktop Chrome. No password, no login of its own.

Does not

  • Delete posts, comments, photos, or activity log entries.
  • Touch Messenger, Instagram, Threads, or the mobile apps.
  • Remove members from groups you run, or leave groups you admin.
  • Block ads or tracking. Feed Control hides posts after they load.
  • Send requests, follow, join, or grow anything. No automation that acts for you.
  • Guarantee outcomes. No extension can. Run small batches and stop if Facebook warns you.

Questions

Straight answers.

What can Facebook Reset clean up?

Groups you joined (leave, cancel a pending join, unfollow, or set notifications to off or highlights), Pages you liked (unfollow), people and Pages you follow (unfollow), friends (unfriend, restrict, unrestrict, block, or unblock), and sent friend requests (cancel). You select the items, confirm the run, and each result is recorded.

Does Feed Control block ads or tracking?

It hides ads, it does not block them. Feed Control removes ads and hides posts after Facebook has already loaded them in this browser. Ad and tracking requests still happen, and hiding a post does not unfollow or unfriend anyone.

Does any Facebook data leave my browser?

Your lists, selections, feed rules, hidden-post records, and run history stay in Chrome storage on this device. Gumroad and the activation service handle payment and license keys only. Optional operational diagnostics are off by default and never include Facebook content. Details on the privacy and safety page.

What does unverified mean?

The extension sent the action but could not confirm the result on Facebook. Unverified items are listed under Past changes so you can open each one and check. Nothing is retried automatically.

What is free and what does Pro add?

Free hides Facebook ads, cleans up the Facebook Home page, and hides suggestions and Reels, all with no limit. It runs 3 of your own words or topics at a time and changes 3 items per cleanup run. Pro is a one-time $9 license: run the whole reviewed selection in one pass, run every word and topic you have saved, add five more feed filters including Comment Shield, and sort large lists by activity. Hidden posts, Past changes, exports, and every safety check are the same on both.

Does it need my Facebook password?

No. It works inside the Facebook tab you already have open in desktop Chrome. It never asks for or stores a password.

Is this the same extension as Bulk Group Leaver?

Yes. Bulk Group Leaver & Facebook Cleanup became Facebook Reset & Feed Control in version 0.7. It is the same Chrome Web Store listing and the same license. Existing Pro keys keep working.

Is it affiliated with Meta or Facebook?

No. It is an independent extension built and maintained by one person. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Meta or Facebook.
