How to Instantly Eliminate Social Media Distraction Without Quitting Platforms
Let’s be honest: most social media platforms are designed to waste your time.
The constant scroll, the “recommended” posts, the notifications—it’s all engineered to keep you reactive instead of intentional.
But what if you could keep the parts of social media that help your work—like messaging, groups, or business tools—and completely eliminate the feed?
Enter: News Feed Eradicator
News Feed Eradicator is a free browser extension that removes the news feed from platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Reddit, and more.
It replaces the feed with an optional quote or custom message (or just a blank space), helping you regain control without deleting your accounts.
✅ Why It’s Useful:
Still access Messenger, Groups, Pages, Ads Manager
Still comment, search, and post intentionally
No more accidental scrolling
Works on Chrome, Edge, Brave
🛠️ How to Install:
Search: News Feed Eradicator
Click on the Chrome Web Store result
Install the extension
Open a social platform and watch the feed disappear
You’ll still have full access to features—but now it’s on your terms.
If you’re building anything that matters, this is a simple way to protect your attention and keep the dopamine traps out of your workflow.

How to Hide Social Apps and Mute Notifications Without Deleting Them
If social media apps are draining your time and focus—but you’re not ready to delete them—there’s a smarter, more sustainable solution.
By removing these apps from your home screen and silencing notifications, you reduce distractions without losing access entirely.
Here’s how to do it on both iPhone and Android:
📱 On iPhone (iOS):
Long-press any social app icon
Tap Remove App → Remove from Home Screen
Go to Settings → Notifications
Turn off alerts for all social apps
Apps remain in the App Library—only visible when you go looking
🤖 On Android:
Long-press any social app icon
Tap Remove from Home
Go to Settings → Notifications (or Apps & Notifications)
Turn off alerts for each app
Apps stay installed but out of your visual field
✅ Why It Works:
Disrupts the cue-action-reward loop that leads to habitual scrolling
Reduces screen time without forcing drastic changes
Helps you focus on what matters by limiting unintentional app use
Want to go further?
Use Screen Time (iOS) or Digital Wellbeing (Android) to set daily app limits or downtime schedules.Attention is a finite resource. This small change can make a big difference in how you use it.
