Social Fixer for Opera

One of the aspects recurrently decried as far as social media is concerned is that it prompts you with too much content when, in fact, it does not succeed in being a reliable curator.

However, software solutions that help you limit the quantity and type of content that reaches you are available out there, and Social Fixer for Opera is one of them, with its main capabilities aimed at configuring Facebook.

As its name makes it transparent, Social Fixer is an Opera extension designed to help you tweak various features Facebook provides you with.

Even though its capabilities are so varied, all the settings are organized in an intuitive manner, in categories such as “Hide Posts,” “Filters,” “User Interface,” “Display Tweaks,” “Advanced,” “Experiments,” and more.

To name a few of the highlights, we have to mention that you have the possibility of selectively hiding posts based on a blacklist you can customize as you see fit as well as creating filters of your own that restrict the content of your news feed. A series of predefined thematic filters are also available for you to make sure you are only shown relevant posts.

As for how it enhances your interaction with the website’s interface, Social Fixer lets you override the default Facebook fonts, remove the left or right column as well as the sidebar, show photo tags, stretch wide, and more.

What’s more, marking posts as read is possible so that you don’t stumble upon them once more while showing hidden messages is also an option. Plus, adding an icon to each post that you track its new likes, shares, and comments should offer an overview of your social media prestige.
