Hide the Facebook News Feed in four steps

  1. 1Add ZenTab to Chrome. It's free, and your first 7 days include Pro, so you can try this straight away.
  2. 2Open the ZenTab dashboard and go to Feed Eraser.
  3. 3In the Facebook card, switch on Hide News Feed and Reels.
  4. 4That's it. It applies instantly, even to Facebook tabs that are already open.

Switch it off again any time in the same place. Feed Eraser runs only in your browser: nothing is sent to Facebook or to ZenTab.

Rather block Facebook completely?

If you don't need Facebook at all during the day, blocking the whole site is simpler. See how to block Facebook on Chrome, on a schedule or with a daily time limit.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still see posts in my groups?

Yes. Group pages load normally. Only the home page's News Feed is hidden.

Is this the same as unfollowing everyone?

No. Your friends and pages stay as they are. ZenTab just hides the feed in your browser, and you can switch it back anytime.
