How does this Facebook Friends Mapper extension for Chrome work?įacebook Friends Mapper Chrome extension fools the mutual friends feature of the Facebook and collects the hidden friends’ data of your friends and makes them public for you. I tried out this tool myself and the “Only Me” option to keep your friends list hidden from the world doesn’t work anymore. A week ago, a new Chrome extension came into the limelight and it claims to reveal the hidden friends list to your friends. Many of you would have set the privacy of your friends list as private. You can go to your Facebook privacy settings and limit the visibility of posts, pictures and whatnot.
It leverages the Mutual Friends feature of the social networking site to crawl and expose your hidden Facebook Friends list.In the recent past, Facebook has brought more power to the users and now they can control all the information they’ve shared on their Facebook accounts. The Chrome extension called ‘Facebook Friends Mapper’ attempts to do this for you in short time. You can achieve this by modifying client requests and lot of trial & error attempts. Now here is the catch, any person on Facebook having at least one mutual friend with you, may be able to see large part of your hidden Friends list along with the mutual friends. The problem is the people in your friends list and their friends can see the mutual friends between you and them when they arrive on your timeline. So the best possible privacy option you would select is ‘only me’, i.e your friends list is visible only to you. Unfortunately your friends list is among them which appears hidden (while privacy option friends list is ON) but actually isn’t.įacebook allows you to set the visibility of your friends list to ‘public’, ‘friends’ and ‘only me’. Ideally Facebook has the best privacy setting options, but it seems there are somethings you just cant hide.
