Install Compare

Tracking & Ad Removal on FaceBk is a powerful Chrome extension designed to remove ads and user interaction tracking from Facebook™ content. It disables event listeners on links, simplifies mobile videos to standard HTML5 format, and optionally applies custom CSS to indicate cleaned elements, providing a streamlined and more private browsing experience.

The extension is fully open-source, ensures no data collection or sharing, and continually updates to counter new tracking techniques. Users are encouraged to check out its transparent code on GitHub and report any issues promptly. Note that due to Google Store and Facebook restrictions, updates might cease on Chrome, with Firefox recommended for ongoing support and enhanced privacy.
