SocialScam is a free Chrome extension developed by Chris Morata. It falls under the category of Browsers and specifically belongs to the Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This handy tool bypasses the need to install apps on Facebook in order to watch videos or read articles.

One of the frustrations many Facebook users face is having to install apps just to access and consume content on the platform. SocialScam eliminates this inconvenience by automatically changing the link, redirecting you directly to the article or video instead of prompting you to install an app.

Once SocialScam is installed, there is no need for any additional action. It automatically activates whenever you visit Facebook, seamlessly doing the work for you.

Currently, SocialScam supports bypassing popular apps such as Socialcam, Yahoo! reader, and the Washington Post news reader. The developer promises to add support for more apps in the future, making this extension even more versatile and user-friendly.
