I think the point of this extension is for people who need to access facebook features like groups and events, but don't want to get distracted by the dopamine-inducing newsfeed on the way

So instead you're distracted by the dopamine-inducing Hacker News feed.

Yep. I'm off facebook but I've been thinking about blocking hackernews and fark at the router level if I could. At some point you have to start doing things instead of reading about the people who are.

Contemplating making minaway 10080

If that's the intention I would recommend this Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/news-feed-eradicat...

Sure, I think OP's just proffering that rather than replacing it with nothing, you replace it with a feed you do want to see.

It's been more like cancer-inducing with all of the political talk these days.

I've unfollowed all my friends who discuss politics in an alarmist and sensationalist way (keeping the small number who take a tempered and balanced perspective), and it honestly _is_ saving me from cancer since my stress levels (which causes all sorts of ailments) are much lower now.
