If you're considering doing the same but is still on the fence, here's an alternative: News Feed Eradicator [1].

It still gives you access to messages, but eliminates the news feed, so it breaks your habit of going there to "check what's new".

Go ahead and give it a try. If after 30 days you still miss the news feed, you can just disable the extension. But I bet you won't even notice...

ps: but don't forget to delete the mobile app. Conveniently FB offers you a separate app just for messages, if desired.

You can accomplish the same thing by unfollowing everyone in your friends list. My news feed is always empty, it's great.


I don't need that (probably because I never got into a habit of checking the news feed) but I'd love to eradicate most of the things in the left and right columns, particularly, the profile photos of friends.


just use messenger.com ?
