"Over the past few years, Facebook has become increasingly unusable. I can log in to my account, and instead of seeing posts from friends, mostly what I see are ads and suggested posts. I've had instances where it took longer than expected to finally see something an actual human had posted. It's frustrating to the point of nearly making me leave the service. After all, what good is social media if the social aspect is removed? Not much."
"It's quite refreshing. The Nobook app works as a wrapper around the Facebook website, so it's almost like opening the Facebook URL in your default browser. By doing it this way, the app is able to block the things you don't want because Nobook prevents those things from appearing on your feed and/or obfuscates them using JavaScript (like an ad blocker)."
Nobook is an Android wrapper that delivers Facebook without ads and suggested posts by blocking or obfuscating unwanted elements via JavaScript. A single developer created the app to present a cleaner feed that emphasizes posts from friends. The app visually resembles the official Facebook app while functioning like a web browser with an ad blocker. Nobook is free on Android but requires the ability to sideload apps. The app aims to reduce doom-scrolling by removing intrusive features and making the social aspects of the feed more visible and usable.
