AdBlock for Firefox by AdBlock

by Firefox user 14196056, 2 years agoI would filter Facebook ads. That's the primary goal but it's not good for that.
I wonder why none of the ad blockers are effective in filtering out facebok ads. It could be done. Sometimes one or the other filters it out successfully.
Now when I turn on this filter nothing comes in. It filters the whole facebook :-) I would say it's perfect now. :-) But unfortunately the non-advertising part would be nice to see.

posted 2 years agoFor the ads appearing on Facebook, there may not be a whole lot we can do. Facebook has both "sponsored posts" and regular advertisements. However, only the latter are considered actual ads that we can block (and you shouldn't be seeing those). Facebook goes to great lengths to ensure that their sponsored posts remain unblocked, and they have an entire department dedicated to circumventing ad blockers. We're just a tiny team and it's been tough to work against our well-financed opponents. If you are seeing ads aside from Sponsored posts, let us know: help@getadblock.com. -- AdBlock Support

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18948543, 8 days agoYet another extension mooching off of ABP's revenue stream. These by definition, regardless of how much actual blocking they are doing, are just another method big corp uses to circumvent the real thing. Don't be fooled.

- Rated 2 out of 5by F8, a month agomostly works aside from video ads, but for some reason they think they're entitled to nagging me with popups for money. it isn't that difficult to block ads, I've uninstalled and moved on.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Warchik, a month agoDoesn't work with Youtube. Youtube disables the Adblock for Firefox plugin and continues playing ads.
