- aphextron 10y agoYep. I block pretty much all of Facebook besides the chat functionality at this point.
- gcr 10y agoIf you only want chat, there's always http://messenger.com http://messenger.com :-)
- aarongolliver 10y agoThey just started embedding adds into messenger too (thankfully not in the US, yet)
- gcr 10y ago...Eww... What do these ads look like?

- Ntrails 10y agoI've already got whatsapp, email and normal texts, facebook messenger has literally nothing that I want and poisoned any interest I might have had by removing itself from the mobile website in an attempt to force me to use the app whilst demanding my phone number.
- akandiah 10y agoWith the amount of junk that's on there nowadays, it's even easier to 'quit Facebook'. The Messenger app makes it easier to do so.
- unicornporn 10y agoI find that's getting harder and harder to do as they change/randomize the class/id of many elements at each page reload.
- douche 10y agoTheir column container classes/ids are pretty static. I try to keep my custom stylesheet updated to nuke the left and right column sidebars, and expand the actual newsfeed to use the reclaimed width. No more useless trending topics and clickbait news for me. I do not need to see the outrage-generators or the Kardashian headline of the day.
- haddr 10y agohow you do it?
- RileyKyeden 10y agoThere's a little eyedropper thing in that popup when you click the uBlock button. Use that to select elements you want to block. Sometimes what you click is a few levels deep in a container. After you select one, you can click through the items in the "Cosmetic Filters" box until you get to the right level to block the entire element.
- haddr 10y agoThanks!
- em3rgent0rdr 10y agoThanks!!! I've had uBlock Origin installed, but it never occurred to me to do this. I should've read the feature list. I've removed everything except for newsfeed (which is all I personally care about).
