Ads, ubiquitous spectacles that dance across the digital stage without respite. But lo, hath Facebook not inundated thy feed with an excess of these commercial interlopers? Verily, Meta, the progenitor of Facebook, hath amplified the deluge of adverts, for it ranks among the titans of advertising. Yon company doth even furnish thine profile details and interests unto sundry websites, all to craft ads bespoke to thee. To bid farewell to these annoyances, behold all the paths that lead to the banishment of Ads on Facebook.
Stop Facebook Ads on PC
In the realm of personal computing, one may bar the ads from one’s sight, yet such an elusive feat remains beyond reach on a smartphone. Many Ad blockers roam the digital wilderness, but we sing the praises of some favorites. The venerable Ad Block web extension shall serve thee well, yet uBlock Origin reigns supreme, potent in its efficacy against the ad scourge. Behold, the process to ensconce them within thy digital abode:
1. Embark upon a pilgrimage to the Chrome extension page of uBlock Origin.
2. Invoke the solemn incantation “Add to Chrome” and thence “Add extension”.
3. With its inclusion, uBlock shall, of its own accord, commence the siege against ads on Facebook.
4. To assay its virtue, journey unto Facebook.com, partake in the scroll through thy feed, and witness the absence of ads.
5. Shouldst thou seek to spare a particular website from the ad blockade, venture forth to the said site, traverse to Extensions -> uBlock -> Power button, then refresh the page.
And thus, the mantle of ad-blocking rests upon the web.
Stop Facebook Ads on Android
By Odin’s beard, an impossibility to thwart the Ads within the confines of Facebook’s Android app. Nay, despair not, for there exists a stratagem. As Google Chrome on Android shuns extensions, Firefox, stalwart browser of yore, doth lend its aid for the vanquishing of Facebook’s ads on Android. Alas, this guide cannot be followed upon an iPhone, for the Firefox app on iOS spurns the company of extensions.
1. Summon forth the Firefox app from the Play Store and open its gates.
2. Traverse the misty pathways of its setup and upon arrival at the home page, converge upon the 3-dots icon aloft.
3. Tap Extensions and discover “uBlock” amidst the roster of extensions.
4. Evoke the plus + icon to induct the extension into thy Firefox arsenal.
5. Journey unto Facebook.com and enkindle the flames of thy account’s log in.
6. Lo, the hallowed halls of Facebook shall now be traversed without the specter of advertisements.
Control Ads on Facebook
Should ye wish to sever the bonds of targeted ads and the company of Facebook tracing thy digital footsteps for the creation of such ads, direct thy steps unto the Meta Center. Behold, the path:
On PC
1. Venture unto Facebook and, if thou hast not already, partake in the rite of account login.
2. At the zenith of the right corner, ye shall espy thine profile, and there select Settings & privacy.
3. Now, proceed unto Privacy Centre -> Common privacy settings.
4. Elect the Meta Accounts Centre and strike thine gaze upon Ad preferences.
And so, the exposition to divest thyself of ads ensues.
On Phone
1. Unveil the Facebook app and tap the hamburger icon atop the right.
2. Descend unto the cogwheel icon below.
Through these arts, the stratagem to subdue Facebook ads on Android unfolds. How perceivest thou thy saga with the archery of targeted advertising whilst within the realms of Facebook and beyond? Pray, share thy tales in the nether realms of the comments section.
