Posted By Keith Dsouza On August 7, 2008 @ 3:00 am In Tips And Tricks | 26 Comments
Facebook is definitely one of the biggest social networks today, and many people tend to spend a lot of time interacting with their friends and family there. For people who spend longer time on Facebook the advertisements may start to get a bit annoying.
Here is a simple trick on how you can block ads on Facebook.
- Download and install Greasemonkey [1] Firefox extension [2], if you are not already using it.
- For old Facebook users install the Block Facebook Ad’s [3] user script and for those using the new Facebook interface download the New Facebook Layout Ad Killer [4] user script.
- Refresh the Facebook page and the ads should disappear.
That’s it once the page is refreshed you will no longer see any advertisements. Thanks Moin [5].
Greasemonkey is a Firefox add-on, read our article on how you can run Greasemonkey scripts in Internet Explorer, Opera and Safari [6].
