Customize Facebook with Ad Block Plus

Customize Facebook with Ad Block Plus

Adblock Plus just updated with a new set of features that let you hide not just ads, but a bunch of Facebook’s annoying parts like the news feed and sidebar.

You can now Customize Facebook with Adblock Plus. It now lets you remove “other unneeded, potentially unwanted elements” in Facebook News Feed and sidebar. So on top of removing ads, sponsored stories and all that sort of stuff this update adds 21 more options. You can set it up to block news feed annoyances like “entertainment pages you may like”, sidebar annoyances like “nearby places” or “rate movies”, or everything. The everything option includes:

  • Music Pages You May Like
  • Entertainment Pages You May Like
  • Add to Movies
  • Add to TV Shows
  • People You May Know
  • Rate To Add To Your Movies
  • Rate To Add To Your TV Shows
  • Rate Books You’ve Read
  • Rate These Places
  • Get Important News
  • Recommended Pages
  • Rate Movies You’ve Watched
  • Add to Movies
  • Add to TV Shows
  • Rate TV Shows You’ve Watched
  • Suggested Groups
  • Friend Finder/Find More Friends
  • Games You May Like
  • Play It Again
  • Suggest Friends
  • Nearby Places

In order to Customize Facebook with Ad Block Plus first you need Adblock Plus installed. Once you’ve got that then you need to head to this page and pick the options you want. Oddly, there doesn’t seem to be a way to activtate this from within Adblock Plus itself. You have to visit http://facebook.adblockplus.me to get it to work.
