F.B. Purity v34.5 fixes the automatic hiding of Facebook Sponsored Posts!

Posted on July 20, 2022 by admin

Clean up and Customize Facebook with F.B. Purity. By Default F.B. Purity hides all Sponsored Posts in the Facebook Newsfeed

Changes in F.B. Purity v34.5.0

Fixed the automatic hiding of Sponsored Posts
Fixed the Hide “Shortcuts Section” Left Column Link option

This release fixes the automatic hiding of Sponsored Posts in the Newsfeed if you have the hide “Sponsored Box / Posts” option turned on, which it is by default when you first install FBP.

As the Hide Sponsored Posts option is fixed, you shouldn’t have to use the “Zap the ads” function any more, but I have kept the Zap functionality, in case Facebook change something, as it should still work in theory as a backup method for hiding the ads if they come back again.

This release also fixes the Hide “Shortcuts Section” left column link option, so if you suddenly notice your shortcuts section has gone missing, it just means you must have ticked the hide option for it at some point in the past. To get the shortcuts back, just un-tick the option (located in the “Left Column Links” section of the FBP options screen)

P.S I am aware the version number listed on the FBP website has not been updated, I am waiting for all versions to be available before I do that.

If you are using the Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Opera extension versions of FBP, your extension will autoupdate at some point, if it hasn’t you should be able to update it via your browser’s extensions management page.

If you are using the GM Script version of FBP and it hasn’t yet autoupdated you can update it by clicking the install fbp script link at install.fbpurity.com then follow the instructions to update the script.

If you have any problems with or questions about FBP, please use the available help resources on this website, including the FBP User Guide, and FBP FAQ page which includes a comprehensive Troubleshooting Guide that you should follow if you have any problems.

If you wish to support FB Purity, please Donate to ensure the continuation of this project. Many heartfelt thanks to those people who have generously donated! :)

Please tell all your friends about F.B. Purity too, as I’m sure they will appreciate it. One way you can help spread the word about FBP, is to go to https://fb.com/fluffbustingpurity and click the red “Invite Friends” link that appears near the top of the Page, then invite all your friends.

FBP v34.4.4 is out now! Featuring a new method for hiding the Sponsored Posts on Facebook

Posted on July 6, 2022 by admin

How to hide all Facebook Sponsored Posts with F.B. Purity

FBP v34.4 has a new method for blocking the Sponsored Posts. Use the Zap the Ads menu item in the 3 dot “…” menu at the top right of any Sponsored Post.

Changes in F.B. Purity v34.4.4

Fixed hiding Sponsored Posts (Though there is a new process you need to follow in order to block them. See below for full details)

F.B. Purity V34.4.4 has a new method for blocking the ads, as shown in the screenshot image. To access the Zap function, click the 3 dot menu at the top right of a Sponsored Post, then select “Zap the ads with F.B. Purity”. (If the “Zap” button doesnt show up, try clicking the 3 dots button again) It will explain that when you see any ads in future, you will need to follow the same process again. When you click “OK” FBP will hide the ad and any subsequent sponsored posts that are loaded. When the ads do show up again at some point after you have used the Zap process, that means Facebook have changed the obfuscated codeword that they are using to identify the Sponsored Posts.

This method is required because Facebook obfuscates the word Sponsored, so its not easy for FBP’s code to determine which posts are ads and which aren’t, and they also change the obfuscation code on a regular basis, which means you will need to “Zap the ads” each time they change the obfuscation code.

Please Note: In Firefox when the ok/cancel dialog box is shown, firefox adds a line of text asking if you want to stop “Prompts” being shown from this site in future, do not click on that or tick the box, as that will disable the Zap function from working properly.

If you are using Microsoft Edge, or using a User Agent switcher extension to spoof the Edge browser, you will most likely not need to use this method as FBP should still be hiding the ads for you automatically as Facebook has not yet updated there new ad code to display in the Edge browser. Also due to a bug in the Edge extensions directory server, this release is not yet available for Edge anyway.

For anyone who was using the previously mentioned method of using the Text Filter to filter out domain name endings such as \.com etc or “Shared with public” you may want to remove those filters now, as this new method should more accurately hide just the ads.

There has been a big change in the way the Newsfeed now works. Facebook are now restricting the number of posts that can show at any one time in the Newsfeed to around 36-40, what this means is, once the Newsfeed has loaded roughly that many posts, any new post added to the end of the feed will knock off one of the first loaded posts in the feed. This will cause strange effects such as the page “jumping” around from time to time, and also posts may disappear before your very eyes. This may look like a bug in FBP, but I assure you it isn’t. You can test it out by disabling FBP, and trying to load over 40 posts in the newsfeed and you will see the posts at the start of the feed will start to disappear.

Many thanks to all those who support FBP, by donating and spreading the word, I couldn’t do this without you!

P.S I am aware the version number listed on the FBP website has not been updated, I am waiting for all versions to be available before I do that.

If you are using the Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Opera extension versions of FBP, your extension should have autoupdated to the fixed version by now, if it hasn’t you should be able to update it via your browser’s extensions management page.

Facebook has changed their ad code again – here are some solutions for blocking the sponsored posts.

Posted on June 26, 2022 by admin

Facebook have pushed out new code for Sponsored Posts, which means FBP is not currently hiding them. While I figure out how to fix this, here are some possible solutions for hiding/avoiding the ads:

1/ One way to avoid the ads on Facebook Newsfeed, is to use the Favorites feed, you can add up to 30 people/pages to the favorites list, and then view the favorites feed, it should display without any ads. For info on how to use the Favorites feed go here: facebook.com/help/1634545223376778

———

2/ If the ads are mostly for websites with a .com web address, you could add the following to FBP’s Text Filter or Auto Hide filter

\.com

This will filter out any posts with links (URLs) ending in “.com” again this is a bit drastic, as it will filter out many more posts than just ads. You can add any other domain name endings you find showing in ads, for example if you are in the uk, you might want to also add

\.co\.uk

To your Text Filter or Auto Hide filter. Of course there are many other domain name endings, including \.org \.net \.org.uk etc, if you add all the ones that are frequently displayed in ads shown in your feed, you will notice it cuts down a large number of the sponsored posts you see. Of course that will filter out any other normal posts that just feature any links with those domain endings.

————-

3/ This one is also a bit drastic. As most Sponsored Posts privacy settings are “Shared with Public”, if you put the following text (including the preceding dot) into FBP’s Text Filter or Auto Hide filter:

· Shared with Public

That will filter out all publicly shared posts from the Newsfeed, which will include most Sponsored Posts. Please note if your facebook language setting is not set to English you would need to use the equivalent text that Facebook users to indicate its a public post, in your own language.

————–

4/ This one is probably the simplest solution of all. Facebook does not show ads on every page load of the Newsfeed. So one way to clear the ads if you are seeing them in the Newsfeed, is to simply refresh the page. Many times this will work to clear the ads.

————–

5/ If you have the Microsft Edge browser installed on your computer, or if you can install it, use that web browser and install the FBP extension on there. From my testing and other users reports, FBP’s ad blocking should still work in that browser.

————–

6/ If you don’t fancy using Microsoft Edge, or don’t fancy having to install a whole new browser in the first place (Mac & Linux) It’s still possible to get the same effect from solution number 5 by using a User Agent switcher extension to temporarily change your existing browser’s User Agent identification string to make it look to Facebook like you are using the latest version of Microsoft Edge, when you actually aren’t. This may be a bit more too technologically advanced for some people, but I just tested it and it works.

There are User Agent switcher extensions available for most browsers, and there are quite a few, so I wont list them all here. Just search your browser’s extension directory for a User Agent Switcher extension, then if it doesn’t have a setting for the latest version of Edge, hopefully it has a setting that lets you set a custom User Agent, and you can paste in the latest User Agent for Edge (appropriate for your operating system)

For example. I tested this solution out in Chrome, using the extension titled “User-Agent Switcher for Google Chrome”, and i had to go into the extension’s settings to add a new custom user agent string. of “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/103.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/103.0.1264.37” and it worked for me.

——-

Please let me know if any of these solutions work for you. I know they are not ideal, but hopefully some people will appreciate them. Meanwhile I am looking into fixing the hide Sponsored Posts code. Please be patient while I figure it out,

Cheers,

Steve

F.B. Purity v34.2.4 is out now! Fixes hiding sponsored posts, and also fixes newsfeed filtering

Posted on June 7, 2022 by admin

F.B. Purity the dream solution for hundreds of Facebook problems!

F.B. Purity lets you clean up and Customize Facebook. It hides all the Sponsored posts in the Facebook Newsfeed amongst many other useful features

Changes in F.B. Purity v34.2.4

Fixed hiding Sponsored Posts (Please Note: due to the way facebook deploys new code to random groups of people, this option may still not work now f0r some people, though it seems to be working ok for the majority,) This option should hide the Sponsored posts (ads) in the Newsfeed and those in the right hand column.
Fixed Newsfeed filtering in general (including the Text Filter and Auto Hide filter and most of the built in Newsfeed filters such as the Reels filter for example.
Fixed the Hide Reels filter option (located under the “Video Posts” heading on the FBP options screen, also fixed hiding the “Stories / Reels / Rooms” box at top of feed if all relevant hide options (Stories, Reels & Rooms) are ticked
Fixed the bug where the whole Watch feed would get hidden if an ad was detected
Fixed the hide Group Conversations option (located under the Chat options heading)
Fixed the “Show more friends” (in chat) option (it makes the profile icons smaller in the chat list, so more names will fit in the right column)
Fixed the Hide “Offline friends in chat” option.
Fixed the hide “Friend requests” in the Right Column option
Fixed the Show Deactivated Friends function ( To try it click the “Show deactivated friends” link on fb.com/me/friends )
Fixed a bug in the “Hide profile hovercards” option that was causing the contact list in chat box in the right column to disappear
New Added buttons for clearing the Facebook ad preferences page (Advertisers and Ad topics)
Known Issue: The “Move Nav Bar to the Top” option is broken due to a facebook code change.

If you are using Chrome (or chrome clone), Firefox or Opera and have FBP installed already it should update itself to the latest version automatically. If you are using the GM Script version of FBP you can go to the script install page on install.fbpurity.com and click the install script link, then follow the on screen instructions to update the script.

If you have Microsoft Edge and are using the Edge extension version of FBP you wlil need to wait a few days before they review and approve the latest extension update. Alternatively you can switch to using the Chrome extension version of FBP, as Edge can also run Chrome extensions.

F.B. Purity v34.0 is out now: New options: Hide Reels and move navigation back back to the top

Posted on May 4, 2022 by admin

Hide Reels and Short Videos on Facebook with F.B. Purity

F.B. Purity lets you clean up and Customize Facebook. It hides all the Sponsored posts in the Facebook Newsfeed amongst many other useful features

Changes in F.B. Purity v34.0 / v34.0.2 / v34.0.3

Fixed hiding Sponsored Posts (Please Note: it seems since this update was published Facebook have already changed their code again, so this option may not work now f0r some people) This option should hide the Sponsored posts (ads) in the Newsfeed and those in the right hand column.
Fixed the “Show Log Out Button” option (located under the Top Nav Bar Options heading on the options screen)
New: Hide “Reels” option This option hides the “Reels and Short Videos” posts from showing up in the Facebook Newsfeed and is located under the “Video Posts” heading on the FBP options screen.
New “Move Nav Bar back to the top” option, This option is for those people who have had their navigation bar moved to the side of the screen and want it back at the top again. This option is located under the “Left Column Links” heading on the FBP options screen.
Fixed: The Auto Hide Filter. I think recently by auto clicking the hide post button, it was sometimes causing a Facebook warning popup to show up. I have removed the autoclicking code, so the popup should not show up any more, but it will still hide the post from view.

If you are using Chrome, Edge or Firefox and have FBP installed already it should update itself to the latest version automatically. If you are using the GM Script version of FBP you can go to the script install page on install.fbpurity.com and click the install script link, then follow the instructions to update the script.

Some people are experiencing problems viewing posts on the Newsfeed, Groups and Pages – Solution (disable adblock plus for facebook)

Posted on November 23, 2021 by admin

** IMPORTANT PLEASE READ ** Many people are currently experiencing a problem viewing their newsfeeds and groups, with them showing no posts, this is due to a clash between FBP and the Adblock Plus extension, if you disable Adblock Plus for the Facebook website, things should go back to normal. FBP Blocks most ads on Facebook anyway, so you shouldnt notice much of a difference. Alternative options are to install “UBlock Origin” instead of Adblock Plus, as that is a higher rated and better extension, and does not cause a clash with F.B. Purity.

In other news, FBP V33.9.5 is out now, which fixes hiding the Sponsored Posts and Newsfeed filtering for most people, and also fixes the FBP Video player option (which, when enabled, lets you view facebook videos without ads)

For those who don’t already know F.B. Purity is a safe, free & top rated browser add-on that lets you Clean up & Customize Facebook. It allows you to hide the crap you don’t want to see, with many options for hiding the visual clutter and annoyances that Facebook forces us to deal with, such as ads (Sponsored posts etc), Rooms, Stories, Games, People You May Know, etc. It also lets you filter out posts from the Newsfeed based on the words or phrases you specify, functionality that Facebook itself does not give you.

If you are getting the “Something went wrong” error, please know this is not an FBP Bug, its a Facebook bug

Posted on October 29, 2021 by admin

If you are getting the “Something went wrong” error, please know this is not an FBP Bug, its a Facebook bug in the “Most Recent” version of the newsfeed. You can test this for yourself, by disabling FBP then loading “Most Recent” which is at https://www.facebook.com/?sk=h_chr

This bug may only seem to manifest itself when you have FBP enabled, but if that is the case, it just means you have turned on FBP’s “News Sort: Most Recent” option which attempts to keep your Newsfeed permanently set to the “Most Recent” setting. So turning that option off temporarily then loading https://www.facebook.com should reset back to Facebook’s default setting for the Newsfeed which is “Top Posts” and currently that version of the feed is the only one that is working.

** UPDATE ** This Facebook bug appears to crop up on a seemingly regular basis, unfortunately there is nothing fbp can do to fix that bug, only facebook can fix it. If you are regularly getting that error, turn off fbp’s option to automatically redirect you to the “most recent” feed.

Sorry to those who are still waiting for a fix for the issue of Sponsored posts showing/ etc.

Posted on October 7, 2021 by admin

Sorry to those who are still waiting for a fix for the issue of Sponsored posts showing/ etc. Unfortunately my dad got very ill and sadly passed away, so this has greatly impacted my ability to work on this project recently, so I’ve been taking a break to try and deal with this.

I did manage to release 2 updates but after he died, i didnt get round to writing the release notes etc. for them.

Basically the latest available version of FBP now is v33.4

Fixed in this version are Hiding the “Stories” box, Hiding the “Rooms” box. New options for hiding the “Events” and “News” buttons in the top nav(igation) bar. It also fixes hiding some “Sponsored Posts” that were getting through for some people (but not all). I still do not have the facebook update that completely breaks FBP, so it is still working fine on my newsfeed at hiding the Sponsored Posts etc. I am still working on getting a fix for the people with the big change, but its difficult to do until Faceobok actually release the code change to my Facebook account.

Another problem is unfortunately v33.4 of the FBP extension is not available for Firefox, due to unknown reasons (theres been no official explanation from Firefox) Apparently there is a massive hold up in the approval queue for extension updates, so it may be some weeks (its impossible to say how long) before v33.4 will become available as a Firefox extension. A couple of workarounds for this 1) Install the Tampermonkey extension, then install the GM script version of FBP. 2) Use a Chrome(ium) based browser (such as Opera or Brave for example) and install the relevant FBP extension for that browser.

I’ve not yet updated the documentation on the FBP website with the new version number for FBP, as the Firefox version is lagging behind, due to problems at Mozilla. Will get round to that soon hopefully.

Please be patient while I work through things.

Thanks,

Steve
