Tracking & Ad Removal on FaceBk
Removes Ads and the user interaction tracking from content on Facebook™
NOTICE: Google is making it increasingly difficult to maintain and publish extensions in their webstore, and Facebook keeps trying to take the extension down, so I may stop updating in chrome at any time. I recommend using Firefox if you want continued support, and it's better for privacy in general.

Removes Ads and the user interaction tracking from content on Facebook™.
Modified elements can optionally have a custom CSS style applied to them so that cleaned items can be more easily identified.
For links, the event listeners on the link and its parents are removed and/or disabled and a proper href is set.
For videos on mobile, all Facebook™ event-listeners and custom controls are removed, and the video is simplified into just the bare HTML5 video tag.
PRIVACY POLICY:
I don't, and never will, collect or send any data to myself or any third parties
Explanation of permissions:
- Access to facebook.com, messenger.com, and facebookwkhpilnemxj7asaniu7vnjjbiltxjqhye3mhbshg7kx5tfyd.onion is needed for main functionality, in order to work on those pages.
- Access to mgziminsky.gitlab.io, more specifically https://mgziminsky.gitlab.io/FacebookTrackingRemoval/*, is used to download blocking rules only
- `webNavigation`: Needed to handle cleaning FB interactions that use the browser history API instead of doing a normal page navigation
- Firefox: "Access browser activity during navigation"
- Chrome: "Read your browsing history"
- This is misleading. See https://github.com/mgziminsky/FacebookTrackingRemoval/issues/67#issuecomment-1346953059
Project is completely open source, so you are welcome, and encouraged, to check the code yourself before installing.

It works perfectly, blocking suggestions for new friends, all kinds of ads, blocking suggested Reels, blocking sponsored ads, and many more.
Has not worked for nearly a month now. Not sure what happened. I hope it comes back....
As of 12 October 2023 works amazing! All the ads and "People you might know" are collapsed! Thanks so much!

Facebook 的廣告真的很狡猾，使用了多款 Sponsored Ad 攔截器，最終選擇這款 👍
Si funciona.
Does work, but constantly causes Chrome to hang/crash when opening images on FB. Chrome Version 105.0.5195.127

As of Aug 23 2022 it actually works. I especially like ad and suggested collapse mode.

I love "Remove tracking from external links"

Was working great ... worthy of 5 stars but FB appears to have added a patch just recently so this extension is not working as well as it was.

A legkirályabb böngésző kiegészítő, amivel az utóbbi időben találkoztam! Eltünteti a k.szott kilométeres facebook kódokat a megosztott oldalak internetcíméből! Fantasztikus, köszönöm! A tökéletes működéshez ne felejtsétek el bejelölni a beállításaiban a "Remove tracking values from internal links (If something breaks, try disabling this first)" lehetőséget is!

Дякую. Очень радует и облегчает работу с фб. Устал удалять хлам с ссылок.... Это расширение помогло.
So far no ad at all 😊 Dev! Total ad blocking count would be awesome future update. Thanks.

Top notch extension!

Not sure what changed, but I can no longer play videos or GIFs in Facebook posts. Will need to find an alternative. I just want the tracking removed from external URLs. I have other extensions to block ads and sponsored posts. Stay focused!
