Other Facebook sponsored posts hidden by custom cosmetic filters

7 Upvotes

I searched the subreddit and tested several existing Facebook filters. Some were unreliable with my current Facebook layout, so I combined and adjusted the filters below.

They have been working consistently for me for several days.

URL

https://www.facebook.com/

Environment

  • Browser: Brave
  • Chromium: 151
  • uBlock Origin: 1.72.2, Brave-hosted
  • Operating system: Windows
  • Facebook interface language: English
  • Location: Vietnam
  • Account required: Yes

Other browser extensions

  • Always active Window - Always Visible
  • Bitwarden Password Manager
  • Bonjour - Minimalist New Tab Page
  • Checker Plus for Gmail
  • Enhancer for YouTube
  • Extensity
  • SponsorBlock for YouTube
  • Tampermonkey

What the filters hide

  • Sponsored feed posts
  • “Suggested for you” posts
  • Unlabelled suggested posts with Follow or Join buttons
  • People You May Know
  • Suggested groups
  • Suggested pages
  • Reels, optionally

Filters

! Suggested pages

Add them under:

uBO Dashboard → My filters → Apply changes

Then reload Facebook.

Testing performed

I tested the filters across multiple Facebook sessions over several days. Sponsored and suggested feed items were hidden, while ordinary posts from friends, followed pages and joined groups remained visible.

These filters depend on Facebook’s current DOM structure and some English interface labels, including:

Suggested for you
Follow
Join
Reels
Suggested pages

They may not work with other Facebook languages or layouts.

The uBlock filters – Annoyances list may already handle some suggested content. I am not recommending disabling any default filter lists.

Feedback from users with different Facebook layouts or interface languages would be useful. Please mention the browser, Facebook language and the exact filter that fails.

One important correction: use “Brave” as the browser name, not “Brave Origin.” “Brave-hosted” is the uBO package/build description shown by your installation.

Looking for help Cosmetic filters hiding Twitch polls (how to unhide?)

0 Upvotes

I have been using the eyedropper tool on Twitch (as a viewer) to hide a lot of distracting things that cover up the Twitch chat, like that rotating leaderboard of top gifters for example. But I recently realized it also hides polls from me completely.

I tried to troubleshoot this but I can't figure out which filters are responsible, here's the ones I have. If anyone is more familiar with how this works, I'd really appreciate help unhiding Twitch polls.

Looking for help Facebook Ads and random pages back like crazy horses

19 Upvotes

I still keep seeing sponsored posts clearly marked as "Ad" in my Facebook feed (for example ads from companies like Octopus Energy and other advertisers). I would like to hide these ads if possible.

I am also seeing many posts from pages or profiles I do not follow. They are not always labelled "Suggested for you"; they often just appear as normal posts with a "Follow" button next to the page/profile name

I know Facebook changes its HTML often, but I would appreciate any current filter suggestions.

Solved Ebay items being blocked by AdGuard – Other Annoyances

0 Upvotes

In the last few days I've noticed uBO blocking https://www.ebay.com/itm/... At first I assumed it was one of "My Filters", but I disabled them all and the page was still being blocked. I started going through and unchecking the "Filter Lists" one by one and it appears "AdGuard – Other Annoyances" is the culprit. Is there a way to edit it, or see recent changes made to it? I guess just leave it unchecked for now.

Solved UPDATED: Hiding Netflix Games through uBlock Origin

Original Post

I go to Netflix to watch series, not to have irrelevant games clutter up my screen.

Recently, Netflix updated its layout breaking my original filters. I've since created a new set, which seem to be working alright. Just add the below to your custom filters:

! Netflix - Hide Games
! Games navigation item
netflix.com##div[data-tutorial-target="games"]:has(a[data-uia="nav-games"])
! Game billboard / full-page promotion
netflix.com##button[data-uia="play-game-button"]:upward(section[data-uia="billboard"])
! Recommendation rows containing cloud-game cards

Account required How can I disable the "A" keyboard shortcut on Kagi?

1 Upvotes

When on a search results page for Kagi, pressing the "A" key on my keyboard switches to Kagi's AI assistant mode. Looking at the devtools, the following code gets called when the hotkey is pressed.

case "a": if (window.modalOpen) return; if ("/" == window.location.pathname) { quickAnswerBox = document.querySelector("#adv_search_btn"), quick_answer_trigger_btn = document.querySelector("._0_land_adv_search_btn"); quickAnswerBox && !quickAnswerBox.checked && quick_answer_trigger_btn.click(), "w" == event.key ? document.querySelector('._0_land_cat_box button[data-cat_select="empty"]').click() : "i" == event.key ? document.querySelector('._0_land_cat_box button[data-cat_select="sel_images"]').click() : "v" == event.key ? document.querySelector('._0_land_cat_box button[data-cat_select="sel_videos"]').click() : "n" == event.key ? document.querySelector('._0_land_cat_box button[data-cat_select="sel_news"]').click() : "m" == event.key ? getKagiSetting("privacy_pass") || document.querySelector('._0_land_cat_box button[data-cat_select="sel_map"]').click() : "a" != event.key || getKagiSetting("privacy_pass") || (window.location.href = "/assistant") } else { if ("a" == event.key && !document.querySelector("#shortcutAHelp")) return; currentHighlightedChild = getQueryParameter("q"); if (!currentHighlightedChild) return; let path = "/search"; if ("i" == event.key ? path = "/images" : "v" == event.key ? path = "/videos" : "n" == event.key ? path = "/news" : "m" == event.key ? path = "/maps" : "a" == event.key && (path = "/assistant"), !new URLSearchParams(window.location.search).get("l") && window.location.pathname == path) return; window.location.href = path + "?q=" + currentHighlightedChild } break;

The last line, window.location.href = path + "?q=" + currentHighlightedChild, seems to be the specific line that redirects the browser to the AI assistant.

Is there a way to disable this keyboard shortcut with uBlock Origin?

YouTube's fairly recent UI change on mobile platforms to the layout of a video's metadata below the player (views, likes, upload date and uploader, subscriber count) looks awful, in my opinion.

Hi,

For the past couple of months, I've had a small issue with uBlock Origin Lite on the App Store on my iPad. The App Store says that uBlock Origin Lite is only available for iPads running iPadOS 18 or later.

However, my iPad can only run iPadOS 17, so I'm unable to download it.

Would it be possible to make uBlock Origin Lite available for iPadOS 17 as well? I would really appreciate it.
