How To Eliminate Facebook Like Buttons From All Web Pages

How To Eliminate Facebook Like Buttons From All Web PagesWe gave you many reasons to quit, but no, you had to keep sticking your head into that bucket of pain called Facebook. But perhaps you really dislike those like buttons popping in every web page. Here's how to eliminate them.

Step 1

Before starting, if you are not using Chrome, Firefox or Safari, click on one of those links and install it. We recommend Chrome or Firefox.

Step 2

Go to Facebook Blocker and click on the button that corresponds to your web browser of choice. This will download the Facebook Blocker extension and automatically install it. If you are using Chrome, the extension will install automatically and you will be done.

Step 3

After installing the extension, all the "Like" buttons will be gone from all web sites except the Facebook site.
