Facebook uses extensive techniques to prevent automated removal of their 'Sponsored' posts. Using a simple string comparison algorithm, this extension will determine whether a post is 'Sponsored' and then remove it from the feed.

An example of some keywords are: "buy", "sale", "limited time", "act now", "buy now", "limited time offer" As a user, you can customise the default keywords from the extension Options page.

The extension Options page also allows enabling console logging to see the details of posts which are being removed as you scroll.

Please be aware: Although unlikely, the algorithm can match a non-sponsored post and delete it. The accuracy greatly depends on the keyword list and threshold value in the extension Options page.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Facebook Ad Remover requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Facebook Ad Remover may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
