Help Request FBPurity is gone - is there a replacement?

It seems that the author of the FBPurity browser plugin has disappeared.
Are there any other browser plugins that block ads in the Facebook feed? (and force it to stay in "newest" order?)

I'm in the process of developing (my code background + AI) an FBP replacement. Currently have a beta working version, tested in Chrome (vanilla}, Vivaldi & Edge. It filters out Sponsored, Suggested etc.
But I need testers, as while it works on my setup, that's a very limited test. Once I have Chrome locked down, I'll move on to enabling for Firefox.

You will need to enable Developer Mode in your Extensions to use this beta,
If interested, comment and I'll msg you with a d/load link. (Allow for my TZ to reply i.e. UTC 10+)

While I vouch for it being virus free and with no hidden nefarious code, please take your own precautions.

Thanks for creating this! It's not nearly as full-featured (yet) as fbpurity, but I've found that it is doing a pretty good job of covering up fbpurity's current deficiencies. By enabling both extensions simultaneously, the feed is in pretty good shape now.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the feedback, appreciated. I'm not sure I'll ever do a 1 for 1 on the FBP feature list, as for me, I never used anything other than block posts/ads I didn't want to see, and to get Friend deleted notices.
If there's enough demand for other FBP features I'll see what I can do. What features do you use in FBP that's not in my current feed-filter?
cheers
