Everything you can tune.
Tacet gives you independent switches for each kind of clutter, a rule engine for the rest, and recovery tools so nothing is ever lost.
Core filtering
Each control is independent. Turn on only what you want gone.

Page layout

Quiet Modes
Presets that get you most of the way in one click. Every preset is editable, and switching never wipes your custom settings.
Focus
Aggressive distraction reduction. Ads, suggestions, Reels, Stories, activity noise and sidebars all off.
Balanced
The recommended everyday setup. Ads and suggestions gone, friends and groups untouched.
Social
Keeps discovery content and recommendations, removes ads and the noisiest clutter.
Minimal
Only ads and the most obvious promotional panels. Everything else stays.
Plus Custom: your own combination, saved as you go.
Text filters
A local rule engine for muting the topics you would rather skip.
- Exact phrases and multiple terms
- Case-insensitive and whole-word matching
- Regular expressions with safety checks
- Allow and block rules with clear precedence
- Descriptions, enable/disable, test against sample text
- Import and export your rule set
Allow lists
Make sure the people and pages you care about always come through.
- Allow specific friends and pages
- Allow groups where they can be reliably identified
- An allow rule always overrides a generic filter
- Quick "Always allow this" from any hidden item
Signature features
Why was this hidden?
An optional, subtle placeholder explains each decision and offers Show once, Always allow this type, Change rule and Undo.
Hidden Content Drawer
Click the toolbar icon to see counts by category for this session, reveal the latest hidden item, pause a filter, or pause everything for this tab.
Quiet Score
A simple local session tally: posts cleaned, distractions removed, ads removed, time in session. Nothing is sent anywhere, and it makes no claims about your wellbeing.
Rule Builder
Visual WHEN/THEN rules with AND/OR groups, live validation, a readable summary and a test button. Duplicate, edit, disable, delete and export.
Element Picker Experimental
Point at any element and hide it. Tacet prefers stable, semantic selectors over brittle DOM paths and shows a rule health indicator.
Safe Mode & Diagnostics
Master switch, per-tab pause, diagnostic mode, a "something is broken" button and a copyable, privacy-safe diagnostic report.
Feed and media behaviour
- Prefer the most recent feed where the page offers it
- Comment sorting preference where it can be applied safely
- Video autoplay control
- Reels playback speed (0.5× to 2×) and start-muted
- Optional infinite-scroll reduction
- Show hidden content on demand
- Instant application for ordinary toggles, no reload required
Facebook's layout changes often. Features that depend on unstable page structure are feature-detected before use and marked experimental if they cannot be made reliable.
Appearance and accessibility
Light, dark and high contrast
Follows your system or set it yourself. A high-contrast option is available for the extension UI.
Keyboard first
Every control in the popup and settings is reachable and operable from the keyboard with visible focus.
Screen-reader friendly
Semantic buttons, labelled controls and no colour-only meaning. Reduced-motion preferences are respected.
Try it on your own feed.
Install in under a minute, pick a mode, and adjust anything later.
