A browser extension claiming to make Facebook up to 10x faster by stripping away unnecessary code and clutter, optimizing the user experience.
Faster for Facebook is a browser extension available for Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. It aims to improve the performance of the Facebook website and feed by removing unnecessary scripts, ads, and other clutter that can slow page loading times.
Specifically, Faster for Facebook strips out elements like the ticker, chat sidebar, and sponsored posts while retaining core Facebook functionality. It also employs caching and compression techniques to reduce bandwidth usage. The extension keeps the Facebook layout intact but declutters the interface to accelerate feed scrolling and overall responsiveness.
Tests indicate Faster for Facebook can speed up the Facebook website by as much as 10x. The extension also benefits mobile users by reducing data usage. Faster claims over 2 million monthly active users as of 2022 across Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge.
In reviews, users praise Faster as making Facebook noticeably quicker with very little downside. The developer behind Faster for Facebook has created similar extensions for other sites like Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, and LinkedIn as well.
