User Reviews

The reviews show the add-on is largely unreliable for Facebook ad blocking. Many users report it doesn't block ads, sometimes after brief initial success; some say the project is abandoned or broken by Facebook updates. A minority report temporary success or cross-site functionality (e.g., on Pinterest), but core Facebook blocking is inconsistent and not maintained.

Pros

Brief initial ad-blocking success reported by some users.
One reviewer called it the first ad blocker that works for them (though temporarily).
Cross-site testing indicates it can block ads on at least one other site (Pinterest) for some users, though not on Facebook.

Cons

Does not reliably block Facebook ads; ads still appear.
Abandoned / not maintained; users report it stops working after updates.
Facebook updates or changes (e.g., HTML) break the blocker, requiring an update.
Inconsistent performance; works briefly for some users and then stops.
Multiple reviews indicate it doesn't work at all.

Recent reviews

Looks like this has been abandoned. Useless garbage.

Is Ad Blocker for Facebook™ Safe?

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.

Ad Blocker for Facebook™ 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 Add-ons Store, 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.
