Pro controls

Free allows three changes a day. Pro removes the limit on every switch, the 8 in the popup and the 100+ in Control More, so you can change what you hide whenever you like.

Reviews
Loved by people who wanted their feed back
Rated by 90+ people on the Chrome Web Store. Every review below is a real 5-star rating from that listing.
I tried several other extensions, but none of them worked reliably. This is the only one I’ve found that actually blocks the ads, especially the sponsored posts.
Does exactly what it needs to do and seems to be updated regularly to remove any new ways that websites try to sneak in reels.
Good idea so I will not stop at videos and will not be watching XY minutes something that was not intended.
It works like it says
The old extension I was using stopped working completely, but this one is doing the job perfectly.
You just saved me from my daily doom-scroll.
Literally the only thing that actually works!!
Fortunately, this developer keeps the extension current.
This capability actually brought me to Chrome.
Just installed and works perfectly.
Downloaded, works fast and well.
Works seamlessly. Great extension!
Worked perfectly! Thank you so much!
Thanks for doing what Facebook and YouTube won't.

Pro not working? We'll fix it.
You paid for this, so your report skips the queue. Paid but Pro never unlocked, renewed but still showing expired, or reinstalled and lost access — send it over and a real person will sort it out. Not on Pro yet? The feedback form is open to everyone.
Purchase & billing
A payment that went through but unlocked nothing, a renewal that did not apply, a refund question, or a charge you do not recognise.
Lost Pro access
Reinstalling or switching browser profile mints a new User ID, and Pro stays with the one that bought it. Send your current ID and registered email — we update your account and Pro carries on.
Anything else
Toggles that will not stay on, the account panel showing the wrong plan, or Pro behaving oddly after an update.
What to include
- Your extension User ID
- The email you purchased with
- A receipt or screenshot, if you have one
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my data safe with Hide?
Yes. Your settings stay in your own browser and Hide never collects your browsing history. Pro adds only what is needed to verify your licence: your extension User ID and your account details.
What is covered, and does it work right away?
YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram — Shorts, Reels, Stories, Explore, video feeds, and sponsored posts. Seven filters switch on the moment you add Hide to Chrome, with nothing to set up and nothing to sign in to. Hide Sponsored & Ads is the eighth, and it waits for you to turn it on. Control more adds 100+ optional switches for YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, Reddit and LinkedIn; they all start off.
Why does Hide ask for access to X, Reddit or LinkedIn?
If you turn on X, Reddit or LinkedIn, Chrome asks you to allow Hide on that site. Hide uses that access only to hide parts of the page; it stores nothing from the page and sends nothing. Nobody is asked on install or update, and you can remove the access again from the settings page or chrome://extensions.
Why is Hide Sponsored & Ads off by default?
Not because it misses anything — it clears sponsored posts and ads from both the Facebook feed and the sidebar. It is off because removing ads is a choice we would rather you made than inherited. Every other filter hides a content format you already know you do not want; this one changes how Facebook pays for itself. Switch it on once and it stays on.
Will Hide slow down my browsing?
No. Hiding is done with a small stylesheet, so the browser simply never paints the content. On Instagram, hidden posts collapse into compact placeholders so the feed keeps scrolling smoothly.
What does Pro unlock?
Unlimited switching — for the eight filters and for the 100+ Control more switches — and no ads. Free gives you three switch changes a day after an unlimited first week and is supported by a single small ad in the popup; Pro removes both, so you can turn filters off and on as often as you like on an ad-free popup. Access is granted to your User ID the moment your purchase clears.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes. Pro is billed by Freemius, our reseller and Merchant of Record — manage or cancel from the account link in your purchase email. Lifetime is a one-time payment, so there is nothing to cancel.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If Pro is not what you expected, request one through the refund request form with the email you paid with. Refunds are processed by Freemius, our Merchant of Record, and go back to your original payment method.
Something is not being hidden. What do I do?
Tell us through the feedback form. The platforms change their layouts often, so a filter that stops matching is exactly what we want to hear about. Say which site it was and what stayed visible.
I paid but Pro did not unlock. What now?
Report it on the Pro Support form with your User ID, the email you paid with, and your receipt if you have it. We will switch your Pro on and email you if we need anything more.
My User ID changed. Do I lose Pro?
No. A reinstall or a new browser profile creates a fresh User ID, and Pro stays with the one that bought it — which is why the extension suddenly looks free. Send us your current User ID and the email you registered with on the Pro Support form. We update the User ID on your account and Pro carries on as normal — there is no need to dig up the old one.
