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.

  1. Download and install Greasemonkey Firefox extension, if you are not already using it.
  2. For old Facebook users install the Block Facebook Ad’s user script and for those using the new Facebook interface download the New Facebook Layout Ad Killer user script.
  3. 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.

Greasemonkey is a Firefox add-on, read our article on how you can run Greasemonkey scripts in Internet Explorer, Opera and Safari.

    Facebook Ads are quite annoying and sometimes NSFW. Just applied the script. Thanks

    Have you noticed the irony of an article about blocking ads on a site completely littered with ads?

    What a terrible idea to promote this. Facebook is free, the costs are supported by the revenue from the ads. If this practice were widely adopted, then Facebook would go bankrupt or be forced to charge users.

    If you like using the service for free, then the least you can do is let the ads display on your screen.

Note: We discourage users from using keywords in their names while posting comments, most of them get caught by spam, also it really would be more fruitful in knowing people who comment by their real name, rather than by using a name no one relates to. In future we reserve the right to delete comments from users using a name other than their own.
