Your script is unnecessarily bloated. Use this instead: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/46560

Since the ads normally take up the right sidebar, the apps are positioned on the left. But with the ads removed, please change the margin value to center the app in the window!

I've tried the above suggestions and similar permutations, but none work. I really HATE the FB adverts; I got so used to ad-free viewing. :(

Any ideas, please?

i think facebook have done something to ads today... up until now adblock has worked fine on facebook for me (using a couple of element hiding rules) but today it seems to be affecting some of facebook's functions as well as hiding ads
so i tried installing this script instead, but it isn't hiding the ads at all

I updated the search query on my version to reflect new side ads on Facebook. Just add:

| //div[contains(@class, 'social_ad_advert')]

To the list at the IF statement

Avg, those are really bad programming manners!
If I were XPathResult implementator, I would change the values of the constants once in a while just to get people like you screwed :P

You can change

XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE

That's all it is; a constant.

I suggest adding //div[contains(@class, 'sidebar_item sponsor')]
and possibly //div[contains(@class, 'emu_ad')]

These removed the new sidebar ads for me on the "new" Facebook.

I recommend also including

//div[contains(@class, 'profile_sidebar_ads')]

to block the sidebar ads when viewing profiles.

Hey i'm very new to this script business, and I'm a facebook user looking to get rid of the adds on my facebook. Where do I paste this script? How do I use a script? Thanks.

Works great for me. I added a few more classes and IDs.
Line 11 in the script:
var elements = document.evaluate("//div[contains(@class, 'ad_capsule')] | //div[contains(@class, 'social_ad')] | //div[@id='announce'] | //div[contains(@id, 'sponsor')] | //div[contains(@id, 'ssponsor')] | //div[contains(@class, 'invite')] | //div[contains(@id, 'gift')] | //div[contains(@id, 'sponsor')]", document, null, XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null);

This only works if I refresh each page. When I first load a page all the ads are there. Do I need to change the code somehow?

Isaac, you're completely right.

I've updated the script to reflect this.

This is a great little script. Props.

FYI though, the if block is unnecessary. The for loop won't execute if the number of elements is 0, because 'i' won't be less than the number of elements even on the first iteration. So removing the if line (and bracket on the other side of the for loop) won't change the behavior of the code.

This is awesome. Makes Facebook just a tiny bit less annoying and spam-like. Thanks!

I just updated this script. News feed sponsored items are now no longer shown. (Facebook's code changed since this script's original release, making the script temporarily not work.) All is better now--please install the new version of this script--version 1.1.

This works really well. Some of the older scripts don't work anymore, but this one removes the sponsored ads from your news feed.

Thanks!
