FaceBook Ads Bye Bye
Steps for Chrome users to remove FB ADs
Install TamperMonkey Chrome extension
Copy the "FaceBook Ads Bye Bye" script and paste to a new TamperMonkey script
Why remove?
I love those ADs and happy to see FB makes money. It's a pleasure to see those pretty girl photos (provided by friend matching site) or super hot anime models (from online game companies), and keep abreast of the latest Samsung products. But I don't like they put it as sponsored/recommend-by-friend as its noisy when I want to quick scan all social posts by "friends".
Two ways to remove
FB website, technically, is just HTML. HTML DOM elements can be manipulated during/after it is loading/loaded. There are many browser plugins that can do the job.
Browse plugin/extension It's more convenient to use a browser plugin/extension. If you pick the right plugin/extension, the script is the same anyway. General users can just pick a popular and high rating AD block plugin.
UserScripts.org For me, I go for UserScripts. For Chrome, I use the TamperMonkey extension. Using user scripts is slightly more complicated. Why do so?
Number of maintainers: userscripts can be used by multiple browser platforms. So i believe there are the best scripts are maintained by more people.Â
As I know JavaScript, during the script "installation" process, I can review the script and make sure it is not harmful.
UserScripts.org has a better search function than Google (Chrome extension site). Basically, it allows me to sort by number of installers and I can pick the one with 5,000 people installed and start with that.
