How to block Facebook ads

Hi, today I am going to share how to block Facebook ads in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Android, Opera.

Now a days, Facebook has started showing advertisement on the right sidebar and also upon our timeline. Some ads are exposed which may not be acceptable by us. Still we are constantly annoyed by all those Facebook ads popping up on our timeline and also on the sidebar. Although personally, I am not against such advertisements because they can be the bread and butter of a website that you are using for free.

It might by block in different ways which I am discussing following bellow.


  • F.B. Purity - Cleans Up Facebook 8.2.2 : Just click on "Add to Firefox" and Install Now. Now restart your browser. After that open and login in your facebook account and a popup will come click on like and close. It is the solution for Mozilla Firefox. It will block ads in the Facebook only. 
  • Facebook Ads Blocker : Just click on " Add to Chrome" and Add. It is the solution for Google Chrome
  • Adblock Plus : It is an extension invented by Stanford University researcher for Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Android, Opera to block preferable ads in the Facebook as well as other websites also. It has some valuable advantages like: You can block / allow any particular website domain / page / add whatever you want because sometimes adds are useful for some Google searching. Below snapshots show how to manage adblock enable / disable for a website domain / page / add. 
It will also block run-time add on the YouTube which is coming before any video playing. 
This dialog-box will be found in the right hand upper side after click on the sing of hand.

 



 This is a example where if you don't want block add on YouTube. 


This is also tested by me on Windows 7 / 8 and Ubuntu 10.04.
