- olex 7y agoAt least on Twitter, it's fairly easy to build a filter for µBlock (or similar blockers) that will trigger on having "promoted" within a Tweet <div> and hide it. At least in the Instagram app, the ads have the same "promoted" text in their heading, so similar filtering can probably be applied to the web version.
- Kiro 7y agoIt's harder than that: https://twitter.com/aaronkbr/status/1071214578980261888 https://twitter.com/aaronkbr/status/1071214578980261888 "Facebook adds 5 divs, 9 spans and 30 css classes to every single post in the timeline to make it more difficult to identify and block 'Sponsored' posts, oh my."
- olex 7y agoDamn. I'm kinda happy it's easier with Twitter. This is some bullshit...
- jobigoud 7y agoAFAIK there aren't any ads when visiting via the website. Only in the app.
