The Newsfeed Blocker blocks the newsfeed and stories section of the facebook app.
It is well-documented that the infinite scrolling newsfeed is a product of the attention-economy : The more a user keeps scrolling, the more ad-revenue is generated. The automatically curated newsfeed is designed to put the control back in the user's hand.
This simple extension blocks the newsfeed so users can continue to access facebook for its useful features : Marketplace, direct messaging, groups, etc.
To block newsfeed and stories :
1. Install the extension
2. Open facebook on your browser
3. Click on the "nfb" button on the tool bar.
To unblock the newsfeed and stories:

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!
