This extension removes the ability to 'Like' things on Facebook, hides 'Like' counts on posts and comments, removes 'Like' notifications from the notification dropdown (beta), and softens the UI notification colors to be more neutral. It does not remove your ability to 'Like' pages, nor does it hide 'Like' notifications in the minifeed (yet).
Why? It's too easy to fall into the trap of mindlessly clicking 'Like' on posts and comments instead of taking the time to engage and leave thoughtful commentary. Facebook does not mind this; they're not currently in the business of monetizing your thoughtful commentary.
Further, the reward center activation that comes from receiving 'Likes' (which includes the big red notification badge, which I've chosen to soften) keeps us spending more time on the site, deriving worth from (and thus expending effort to receive) this form of social currency. This is also by Facebook's design, enabled by our implicit consent.
By doing away with the whole concept of 'Likes' as much as possible, it encourages you to put time into crafting actual messages to your friends instead, and frees you from the need to see how many imaginary internet points your posts and comments have received.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
