Like Hider

Although it is a feature that many people have asked for, there is no way to stop likes and reactions on your posts and comments from displaying in your Facebook notifications. This browser extension does just that. De-clutter your notification window by getting rid of those pointless notifications about likes and reactions.

But why not take it a step further? A common theory is that social media can increase depression and can become addictive. This is due, in part, to the liking system used by social media platforms, which provides gratification that keeps you coming back.

This browser extension also can hide the likes and reactions counter from posts and comments. You can also disable the “Like” button from Facebook entirely.

Creating an issue

Issues are the ticketing system used on GitHub. It's used to track bugs and enhancements that developers can work on. Here are the 3 main types of issues and what to keep in mind when creating a new issue.

Bug

A bug is something that is not working properly in the add-on. Finding and fixing bugs is a very important part of maintaining this add-on.

When create a new issue for a bug, please make sure to include as much information as possible. This should include detailed steps on how to reproduce the problem and links to relevant website(s) (if applicable). Screenshots are also helpful, if an issue is visible.

Enhancement / Feature Request

We are always looking for ways to improve the Like Hider add-on. We welcome feedback and suggestions on how we can improve the add-on and new features that could be introduced.

When creating an issue for an enhancement or feature request, it can often be helpful to provide some background about why you think a change is needed and how it would be helpful to other users. Please make sure to search through the other issues on this GitHub repository to make sure that the feature you are looking for hasn't already been filed by someone else.

Sometimes new features may take a long time to be added to the add-on. Sometimes they may not be added at all. Please don't take it personally if your feature request is rejected or given a low priority.

Documentation Change

Sometimes features of the add-on or browsers can change and the documentation on the add-on's wiki page may no longer be accurate. Sometimes the documentation may be written in a way that is confusing or incomplete.

If you notice a problem with the documentation available for this add-on, feel free to make the change. However, if you don't have the required access to make a change, you can create an issue.

When creating an issue about a change to the documentation, please make sure to provide a link to the document in question and include what any changes in the issue description.
