  FRIEND FOCUS: CLEAN FEED, REAL CONNECTIONS
  
  Stop scrolling through the noise. Start seeing your friends again.
  
  The Problem: Is your Facebook newsfeed full of clutter? Between sponsored ads, endless reels, and "suggested for you" posts, it is becoming harder to find updates from the actual people you care about.
  
  The Solution: Friend Focus is a minimalistic, privacy-first extension designed to restore sanity to your social media. It filters out the noise, leaving you with a clean feed composed strictly of posts from your friends and the groups you care about.
  
  ======================================= KEY FEATURES
  
  🚫 BLOCK DISTRACTIONS: Automatically hides ads, sponsored posts, reels, and algorithm-suggested content.
  
  👥 FRIENDS-ONLY MODE: Intelligent filtering ensures you only see content from your synced friend list.
  
  🎬 STORIES FILTER: Clean up your tray—Stories now exclusively show content from your actual friends.
  
  🏘️ SELECTIVE GROUPS: Don't just show all groups; pick exactly which communities you want to see in your feed.
  
  📄 FOLLOWING SUPPORT: Optionally include updates from specific Pages and People you follow.
  
  🔒 PRIVACY FIRST: No login required. No tracking. Your data stays 100% local on your device.
  
  ======================================= HOW IT WORKS
  
  1. SYNC YOUR LISTS: Click "Build Friend List" to identify your friends locally. Use "Groups" or "Following" to choose additional content sources.
  
  2. ACTIVATE: Toggle the switch to ON.
  
  3. ENJOY: Browse a clean, distraction-free newsfeed.
  
  ======================================= PRIVACY
  
  Friend Focus operates on a strict LOCAL-ONLY model. We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal data, browsing history, or friend lists to any external servers. Your data never leaves your computer.
  
  ======================================= RECENT UPDATES
  
  ✨ v1.5 — NEW: STATUS BAR Minimal indicator at the bottom. Hover to see total posts filtered today.
  
  🎯 v1.4 — NEW: SELECTIVE GROUPS Choose exactly which groups to see. Sync your list via "Collect Groups" to manage visibility.
  
  🚀 v1.3 — NEW: FOLLOWING POSTS Support for Pages and People you follow. Sync your "Following" list to include them in your feed.
  
  🎬 v1.2 — NEW: STORIES FILTERING Stories are now filtered to Friends-only. Improved filtering logic for non-English interfaces.

  FRIEND FOCUS: CLEAN FEED, REAL CONNECTIONS
  
  When did you last actually see a friend's post?
  
  Facebook's algorithm buries the people you care about under a pile of ads, reels, and content you never asked for. Friend Focus strips all of that away — giving you back a feed that actually feels personal.
  
  No tracking. No accounts. Nothing ever leaves your device.
  
  ======================================= KEY FEATURES
  
  🚫 BLOCK DISTRACTIONS
  Ads, sponsored posts, reels, and algorithmic suggestions are gone. What's left is only what matters.
  
  👥 FRIENDS-ONLY MODE
  Your feed shows exactly who you chose to connect with — not who Facebook's algorithm decides is profitable to show you.
  
  🎬 STORIES FILTER
  Your Stories tray, cleaned up. Only your actual friends, no suggested noise.
  
  🏘️ SELECTIVE GROUPS
  Choose the communities you want to hear from. Ignore the rest entirely.
  
  📄 FOLLOWING SUPPORT
  Bring in specific Pages and People you follow — on your terms, not the algorithm's.
  
  📤 IMPORT / EXPORT
  Moving to a new device? Back up your entire setup and restore it in seconds.
  
  🔒 100% LOCAL & PRIVATE
  No login. No data collection. No servers. Everything stays on your computer — always.
  
  ======================================= HOW IT WORKS
  
  1. SYNC YOUR LISTS — One click scans your friends, groups, and following locally. Nothing leaves your device.
  2. ACTIVATE — Flip the switch to ON.
  3. ENJOY — A clean, quiet feed. Just the people and communities you actually care about.
  
  ======================================= PRIVACY
  
  Most extensions quietly collect your data. Friend Focus is built on the opposite principle — strict local-only operation. Your friend lists, browsing behavior, and personal data are never collected, stored, or transmitted anywhere. Ever.
  
  ======================================= RECENT UPDATES
  
  👥 v1.7 — NEW: FRIEND LIST EDITOR Handpick exactly who appears in your feed. Add or remove friends manually instead of syncing all at once.
  
  📤 v1.6 — NEW: IMPORT / EXPORT Back up your friends, groups, and following lists and transfer them seamlessly to any other device.
  
  ✨ v1.5 — NEW: STATUS BAR Minimal indicator at the bottom. Hover to see total posts filtered today.
  
  🎯 v1.4 — NEW: SELECTIVE GROUPS Choose exactly which groups to see. Sync your list via "Collect Groups" to manage visibility.
  
  🚀 v1.3 — NEW: FOLLOWING POSTS Support for Pages and People you follow. Sync your "Following" list to include them in your feed.
  
  🎬 v1.2 — NEW: STORIES FILTERING Stories are now filtered to Friends-only. Improved filtering logic for non-English interfaces.
