See photos for exactly what it does, a picture is worth a 1000 words.
fb.cleanr will remove both the ad sidebar from your homepage and fan-pages it will also remove some of the left-side mess.
it loads on initial page load of facebook and also if you switch to a different tab and switch back to the tab that has facefook.
Why does it look at all windows/tabs? Because the extension is looking to see if the active tab/window is facebook.com If and only if it is facebook will the extension run. If it's not facebook then nothing happens and the extension is not run.
Why does it have access to facebook data? It only has access to what is actually on your computer screen on facebook, and then it is literally just looking for HTML element tags that match the ads, it is not looking/storing/sharing any other data at any time.
The code is freely available for anyone to review on Github to see how it works. Please do so.
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!
