you have to see what programs you installed any
check if you do not have some rare extensions

Doesn't work for me either. I had to use something like this:

However, with this filter active, FB seems to be refreshing the posts in an infinite loop.

From about 3mo to about 2wk ago, it was possible to catch Sponsored posts with :has-text(SpSonSsoSredS). This appeared only in Sponsored posts, with the 'S' elements hidden by CSS. (I'm not sure about back then, but now, the hiding CSS uses 'font-size:0', not 'display:none'.)
About 2wk ago, they started putting that stuff into _all_(*) posts. In Sponsored posts they use CSS to hide the 'S' elements. In 'normal' posts they use CSS to hide _all_ of this. :has-text() is not aware of CSS hiding. The CSS used for this hiding is cryptographically hashed; so far it has remained stable for me, but another user has completely different classes, so the simple selector I use in my own filter won't work for anyone else. So we have to get into runtime evaluation of CSS computed styles :(
[(*)Not really 'all', but all normal posts by users, and many Sponsored posts, although some emitted by other modules inside FB don't use this particular trickery.]
It seems like uBO :matches-css() [see: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Procedural-cosmetic-filters] might be able to handle this. Something like:
facebook.com##[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:if([id^=feed_subtitle_] span:has-text(^Sp$):matches-css(:not(display:none)))
-- which is COMPLETELY UNTESTED, just a pile of syntax smashed together by hand. Not sure if the nested uBO selectors are supported...
And all they need to do to break this is chop the word 'Sponsored' up differently; and it won't work for other UI languages. This is getting ugly.

Maybe need to view the deep of they DOM tag, e.g. looking in data-ajaxify, data-sigil, data-uri, data-ft, data-xt, ...
for example, I've found some part of sponsored URLs have is_sponsored=1 parameter, sometime it's boxed the parameter like [is_sponsored]=1

This issue probably should be reopened, as more ads are using this new method to show up.
That said, I've identified the filter to block this ad:
facebook.com##[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has([id*=feed_subtitle_]):if(a:if(span:has-text(/^Sp$/)):matches-css(display: inline))
Same thing as about but it might be better without too much regex:
facebook.com##[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has([id*=feed_subtitle_]):if(a:if(span:has-text(SpSonSsoSredS)):matches-css(display: inline))
The basic idea is that the a element is showing up as display block if it is an ad and display inline if it is not an ad. This is how we positively identify the ads.
Additionally, id changed from ^feed_subtitle_ to ^_feed_subtitle_, so I'm matching with a *=

@shuhaowu try this:
facebook.com,facebookcorewwwi.onion##div[id^="hyperfeed_story_id_"]:if(div[id^="_feed_subtitle_"] > span:matches-css(display:none):has(abbr .timestampContent))
-- which is back to the 'hidden timestamp' trick, but using computed CSS. I think inline vs. block at the 'Sp' level is an accident, while the display:none ancestor span is 100% intentional. And blocking on hidden .timestampContent is completely UI-language-agnostic, while 'Sp' only works for English and a few other languages (e.g. would probably need to be 'Pu' for @sigtus's Spanish example above).
:has():if(span:has()) applies span:has() to all span elements inside hyperfeed_story_id; I'm trying to restrict the use of expensive JS computations to only spans inside feed_subtitle. And in fact only direct children of feed_subtitle, so this should be _many_ times more efficient. (But I don't know how to actually test uBO filter performance in a situation like this, where the materials to be filtered are controlled by a site like FB which emits different stuff on every reload...)

I do not have a Facebook account, but I think we should leave one Facebook issue open.
I doubt very much that Facebook will stop trying to push their ads, so this issue will never be "fixed".

I think inline vs. block at the 'Sp' level is an accident
It's not at the "Sp" level. The <span>s inside the <a> are definitely the same across all posts. It's the <a> which is toggled depending on if the post is something we want to block or not.
I'm also not familiar with what timestampcontent is, but it sounds like something easily fixable on the their end. Detecting texts would be much harder to deal with.
Ideally, we would be able to strip out text that doesn't display in a function similar to has-text, although I guess that would be relatively expensive. The browsers _should_ have this information already internally, as hinted by the fact that you can do things like Ctrl+F for Sponsored on the page and have it return sensible results.
I'm trying to restrict the use of expensive JS computations to only spans inside feed_subtitle
Shouldn't my filter execute only on the children of <a>s inside feed_subtitle as I've restricted it down to that? My filter is along the line of :has():if(a:if(span:has())).
shuhaowu

The
<span>s inside the<a>are definitely the same across all posts
Only when your FB UI language is English. If a workable UI-language-neutral expression can be written, that's better.
I'm also not familiar with what timestampcontent is, but it sounds like something easily fixable on the their end.
Yes of course whatever the ad blockers look for, they will further mutate. And of course it is all futile because people who are going to the trouble to block ads _don't want ads_ and will not buy products offered by those ads. Yet they persist. As must we, putting up new blocks as the old ones fail.
the fact that you can do things like Ctrl+F for Sponsored on the page and have it return sensible results
Which browser? In Opera, and I assume this would be true for the whole Chromium family, searching for 'Sponsored' does not find those posts; searching for 'SpSonSsoSredS' highlights the visible word 'Sponsored'. Perhaps you are using Firefox and it actually does do integrative visibility checking on text searches. It seems unlikely, though -- those 'S' aren't even hidden with display:none, rather font-size:0. I'm not even sure it's well-defined which of those searches should succeed. When you see 'Sponsored' on such a post, in the fully resolved browser window, the actual string being displayed is 'SpSonSsoSredS'! Except the extra 'S's have font size 0.
Shouldn't my filter execute only on the children of s inside feed_subtitle as I've restricted it down to that?
You have [id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has([id*=feed_subtitle_]):if(a:if(...)) -- as I understand it, this checks whether hyperfeed_story_id has feed_subtitle; then, if so, it checks the subsequent :if() against hyperfeed_story_id again. To narrow the scope of the 2nd check you would need to apply it to the search item of your :has(), changing from:
[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has([id*=feed_subtitle_]):if(a:if(...)) to
[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has([id*=feed_subtitle_]:if(a:if(...))) -- except that is not allowed, :has() can only search for valid expressions according to what the ongoing CSS4 working group has defined, so it would need to be:
[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:if([id*=feed_subtitle_]:if(a:if(...)))

#substream_1 doesn't exist in FB pages I see; and this is a good thing, because :has([id^="feed_subtitle_"]:has-text(Sp)) would remove almost all posts. And it would remove at the anchor point #substream_1, so if that did exist I guess it would remove 100% of all posts, tearing them out at the root of the entire post stream.

filbo I tested with the page @ghajini uploaded and ... it worked for me.
@ghajini posted two expressions. The first:
facebook.com###substream_1:has([id^="feed_subtitle_"]:has-text(Sp))
won't work, and would be harmful if it did. Fortunately it won't do anything.
The second:
facebook.com##[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has(a[href*="gsuitebygoogle"])
is legit, but site-specific. (And would catch users talking about that site, if they included a live link to it, but that's a small danger.)
However I guess blocking single advertisers is the last way for the moment
It isn't. The expression I posted works on 80-90% of current FB ads by detecting the CSS trickery they're using to hide the timestamp on 'Sponsored' posts. The remainder are caught by filtering for a._5pcq[ajaxify*='ad_id='] within a post, probably facebook.com,facebookcorewwwi.onion##div[id^="hyperfeed_story_id_"]:has(a._5pcq[ajaxify*='ad_id=']) in an uBO context.
a[href*="is_sponsored=1"] might catch a couple percent, but they would already be caught by the timestamp filter. Until FB breaks that in some new way, of course.

I wrote:

Hmm, even worse. #substream_1 does exist on the main News Feed page (https://www.facebook.com/) -- but contains only 1, or possibly up to 5 posts. There is also a similar #substream_0, and then a bunch of #substream_0_5baxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx divs each containing 5 posts. So that expression could potentially block up to 5 ads, if they happen to be pushed down in one of the two early post-streaming blocks.
#substream_1 does not exist on Timeline, Page, Group, or search-results post pages; nothing matching [id^=substream_] exists.
FB _post_ filters should be keyed with:
facebook.com,facebookcorewwwi.onion##div[id^="hyperfeed_story_id_"]:if(WHATEVER) (use has(WHATEVER) if WHATEVER is a standards-compliant CSS expression).

facebook.com,facebookcorewwwi.onion##div[id^="hyperfeed_story_id_"]:if(div[id^="_feed_subtitle_"] > span:matches-css(display:none):has(abbr .timestampContent))
I had to remove the underscore before _feed_subtitle as the IDs I see begin with just feed_subtitle:
Robertof
on 24 Sep 2018
@Robertof -- that was fixed by @mapx-, you should refresh your uBlock filters.
@mapx- -- the rules of :has() insist that both the left and right CSS must be CSS4-proposed-standards compliant. :matches-css(whatever):has(whatever) is invalid because :has() is applied to uBO pseudo-CSS.
By 'invalid' here I do not mean that it won't work. It does work _right now_. But the point of the distinction between :has() and :if() is that if uBO is someday running on a browser which natively supports :has(), it can allow that part of the CSS to be handled directly by the browser. Code which uses :if() is not expected to ever be browser-compatible and must always be interpreted by uBO.
Therefore, if this expression is still in the filter set at a time when uBO encounters a browser with native :has() support -- the expression will fail. It should be further revised to:
facebook.com,facebookcorewwwi.onion##div[id^="hyperfeed_story_id_"]:if(div[id*="feed_subtitle_"] > span:matches-css(display:none):if(abbr .timestampContent))
The following _MIGHT_ work (but I have not tested), and would likely be more efficient if it does:
facebook.com,facebookcorewwwi.onion##div[id^="hyperfeed_story_id_"]:if(div[id*="feed_subtitle_"] > span:has(abbr .timestampContent)):matches-css(display:none)
(should be more efficient because we're applying the expensive :matches-css() to fewer spans)
filbo

:if is deprecated, I (or someone) need to update wiki - https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/3683
gwarser
on 25 Sep 2018
Thanks, @gwarser. So uBO now parses all :has() and internally boils them down to whatever's necessary, including (possibly) passing through to browser's :has() if that exists and the expression is going to be compatible?
filbo
on 25 Sep 2018
(that seems like a net improvement -- future uBO behavior doesn't depend on rule authors following obscure rules, violation of which have no _current_ negative effect... Deciding which :has() are browser-compatible only needs to be done once at the time the expression is first loaded, not each time at runtime...)
filbo
on 25 Sep 2018
Actually @gorhill I want to know this too.
gwarser
on 25 Sep 2018
I think currently it's more like 'uBO assumes (correctly) that no browser supports :has(), so it just handles it all itself. If/when browsers support it, and it seems worthwhile, future code can munge filter-supplied :has() instances down to internal uBO representation _or_ leave simple CSS-standards-compliant :has() for the browser to interpret'
filbo
on 25 Sep 2018
All cosmetic filters are first validated to find out whether they are valid CSS selectors. If that fails, uBO then tries to parse them as procedural cosmetic filters. Whenever a browser starts to support :has, uBO will see them as valid CSS selectors and they will be used as such (assuming the content of :has(...) also pass as a valid CSS selector). This is all done at filter list-compile time.

Those will catch people _talking_ about that type of annoyance post. Which they do.
Some form of ..:has(span:has-text(^Popular Across Facebook$)) is the way to go. The annoyance string will be in its own separate span and that will essentially never happen in user conversation.
I haven't seen that particular pseudo-post in months, so I can't examine or test at the moment.

I promise you, if you get that rule to work as written, it will knock out all sorts of FB posts other than the one it supposedly targets.
Open your browser console on the FB News Feed (main page) after you've scrolled down a few dozen posts. Run this JS:
document.querySelectorAll('span>div a[href="#"]').forEach(function(dom,idx){if (window.getComputedStyle(dom)['display']=='inline')console.log(idx,dom.innerText)})
That will show you the text of the items this rule targets. I just ran it on a page with 12 posts loaded, and the output is:
4 "See More"
5 "Like"
6 "Like"
7 "Like"
8 "Like"
14 "[friend 1] and 13 others have been here"
19 "[friend 2] and 11 others have been here"
21 "Like"
22 "Like"
None of the matched posts are 'Popular Across Facebook'. The selector picks up any FB 'button' they've implemented as an a element.
filbo
on 21 Oct 2018
It seems to work well for me and it blocks only the promotional posts:
@filbo the selector you write doesn't even contain the id^=hyperfeed_story_id_ and id^=feed_subtitle_ tags. Also it doesn't select anything in my browser so its possible that facebook is testing different version of the feed page.
bugos
on 22 Oct 2018
Yes, that was not a uBlock complete selector to cleanly carve out whole posts, it was a probe into the works of an FB posts page.
If you are successfully blocking any posts with:
facebook.com##[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has([id^=feed_subtitle_] span>div a[href="#"]:matches-css(display: inline)
then the extracted portion of it which I said to run:
span>div a[href="#"]
must by definition match at least one element on the same page.
FB uses a[href="#"] style links _all over the place_. span>div a is an overwhelmingly common construct on FB (and likely on many web pages, though perhaps some would be more careful about their element nesting approaches).
its possible that facebook is testing different version of the feed page
FB is constantly A/B testing multiple versions of every module in the web client (120+ JS files). So yeah, your layout may be different. That's still a bad filter.
I don't care if you personally use it (and likely hide posts you wouldn't want to); I just want uBO not to put it into the filters feed used by thousands of people who wouldn't know a selector if it bit them.

I'm less familiar with the syntax use by uBlock, but I was able to hide any sponsored ads on facebook with the below jQuery code int he console. Sponsored content has the timestamp replaced with the word "Sponsored". They do still have the timestamp div, but it's hidden, so fairly easy to spot.
$(".userContentWrapper").each(function(){
elem = $(this);
$(this).find(".livetimestamp:hidden").each(function(){
elem.hide();
});
});
Is it possible to match hidden elements? I've come pretty close with the filter ##.userContentWrapper:has(.livetimestamp), but just need to specify that livetimestamp must be hidden.

I did, and that works, although I wouldn't be surprised if they now break it out to feed_s_u_b_title or some other variant. We may do best to try identifying ads using some other property.
In the more immediate term, testing a more generalized version of the filter without testing the id of the div seems to work too without removing any other elements of the page as far as I can tell.
div[id^="hyperfeed_story_id_"]:if(div > span:matches-css(display:none):has(abbr .timestampContent))
EDIT: They've already invalidated that fix too. Now there's not abbr tag with timestampContent class.
This works . . . for now
##div[class*="userContentWrapper"]:has(div > div > div[data-ad-preview="message"]):has(a[role="button"][target="_BLANK"])
Edit2: That's only a partial fix. It only targets ads with a button below that says "Watch more" "Shop now" etc.
Does anyone else get the "actor-selector" option under ads? I run pages as well, and it allows me to post as myself, or as a page, which it only shows on ads. This might be another way to isolate ads.

##div[id^="hyperfeed_story_id_"]:if(div > span:matches-css(display:none):has(abbr .timestampContent))
This applies the expensive matches-css(display:none) to every single div > span in each post's DOM. Narrowing down to the 'feed subtitle' branchlet of each post cuts down the number of matches-css() calls (== window.getComputedStyle() calls) by a factor of 3 or so.
All the 'id approximately-equal feed_subtitle' stuff can be replaced by '._5pcp'. I've only avoided that because using the mangled FB CSS identifiers is icky. But they don't seem to change rapidly, in fact far less rapidly than the readable bits. So this should work and be reasonably stable (but I have not tested):
facebook.com,facebookcorewwwi.onion##div[id^="hyperfeed_story_id_"]:if(._5pcp > span:matches-css(display:none):has(abbr .timestampContent))
And, of course, the FB engineer who's making all these changes is probably reading this public thread. So I say to them: _please, drop it_. People who dedicatedly do not want ads are going to find a way, even if that way is 'well, you succeeded in driving me off your platform'. This cat-and-mouse game is counterproductive.

Ok, using what I'd suggested before this seems to work really really well and would require facebook to severely alter the layout of the timeline to block it. Only issue is I don't know if it will work for everyone. I have multiple pages I manage, so I have the "actor selector" option in the bottom right corner of ads, which I don't get on any non-ad posts. This line targets posts that have the actor selector
##div[class*="userContentWrapper"]:has(span[data-testid="actor-selector"])
0Kills

I just loaded up an FB News Feed tab with 477 posts in it; which included 24 Sponsored posts. Search for '[data-testid="actor-selector"]' finds zero elements. So that may work for you, definitely is not universal.
And they would have to go to zero effort to block that -- just add a meaningless stub <span data-testid="actor-selector"></span> to all posts. (Possibly with class="hidden_elem" to have no visual effect. Or some other CSS shenanigans to make it harder to detect.)
Oh -- I think you're saying that's a special widget which appears if your personal FB account is associated with FB page accounts, so that you have the pulldown to choose which account to comment as. So yeah, it would only work for such accounts. Such a filter might indeed have good longevity, since it's for a restricted audience and is less likely to come to FB's notice or care. But also of limited benefit.
filbo
on 28 Nov 2018
Shame it won't work for everyone, but I think you're mistaken about how easily facebook might remedy it. I've tried dropping data-testid="actor-selector" into spans on people's posts and the entire post disappears when I do. This represents meaningful data to some script running on the page and causes it to treat the post differently.
Would someone who doesn't manage any pages be willing to share a pastebin of a few div's worth of posts with & w/o ads? I understand if nobody would, for security reasons, but this issue is bothering me more probably, than it should.
0Kills

If dropping it in causes the post to disappear, that's probably your uBO expression at work. It does nothing to posts on my FB. But then, maybe it's FB code which is only active if you manage a Page.
There is nothing quite that trivial to recognize in my Sponsored posts. (There was, but they fixed it recently.)
Are you sure that the thing you're looking for doesn't also appear in Group and/or non-Sponsored Page posts which appear in your feed?

D'oh. You're right it was just uBO.

I was speculating that the same selector might appear on posts in your main News Feed (https://facebook.com), for posts inserted from other sources. The HTML structure of the same post is different in News Feed vs. in their actual home Group (https://facebook.com/groups/group-name-string) or Page (https://facebook.com/page-name-string) pages.
You need to verify that Group & Page posts which have been slipstreamed into your News Feed are not blocked by your expression. (Page posts which weren't paid for only appear in your feed if you've 'liked' that Page, which is FB's way of more-or-less subscribing to a Page; those are legitimate content which shouldn't be blocked.)

I am going through uBO's filters for facebook.com and I see this one:
facebook.com,facebookcorewwwi.onion##.userContentWrapper>div div>span>span:has-text(^Suggested Post$)
This accomplishes nothing. If you want to use regex as the thing to search, you have to be explicit about it by using /.../:
facebook.com,facebookcorewwwi.onion##.userContentWrapper>div div>span>span:has-text(/^Suggested Post$/)
Also, we have to always keep in mind procedural filters are not cheap, it's JavaScript having to be executed to scan the DOM for each single operator in each single filter and each time the DOM changes, so this needs to be taken into account when crafting such filters.

I am maintaining an extension for blocking just Facebook Sponsored posts here:
https://github.com/mohamedmansour/fblock/blob/master/scripts/facebook-adblocker.js#L74
Basically, all you do with this new update is to query the following for each "post"
function findSponsoredPost(node) {
const role = node.querySelector('a[role="link"]')
if (!role)
return null
return getComputedStyle(role).display !== 'none' ? node : null
}
That query selector just matches that "Sponsored" section 100% of the time.

Yes, in my fblock extension, that is what I do, it looks like the following. I match the first role from each article, so in ublock need to get the article match.
This is all error prone, with the incremental deployments that Facebook does once every day, they could change the classnames. The best to do is just delete Facebook. uBlock should add a Header stating

for each div[id^="hyperfeed_story_id_"],
if it has an a[role="link"] which is hidden,
it's an ad (and should be trimmed at the hyperfeed_story_id point)

I think I came up with a much better way to prevent facebook from breaking the filters, see my code here(it's kinda hacky but should be a decent proof of concept) which adds the new :has-visible-text filter.
It uses a recursive parser to extract only visible text from child elements, here's an example filter that goes with it:
facebook.com,facebookcorewwwi.onion##div[id^="hyperfeed_story_id_"]:has(div[id^="feed_sub_title_"]:has-visible-text(Sponsored))
facebook.com,facebookcorewwwi.onion##div[id^="hyperfeed_story_id_"]:has(div[id^="feed_sub_title_"]:has-visible-text(Sponsored))

terrorist96
on 11 Dec 2018
Cool, the technique I came up with works by recursively walking all the elements below the target node while pulling the computed style for each individual node, if it comes across a node with a style identifier that will cause that node to not be visible it simply skips that node and any children. Since facebook seems to sometimes use parent nodes to hide children this technique appears to filter out the false positive traps they have(there may potentially be other styles that hide nodes that I've missed but those should be fairly straight forward to add and facebook will likely eventually run out of them).
jameshilliard
on 11 Dec 2018
@jameshilliard that approach can work. There are a number of concerns:
it's a fairly expensive JavaScript exercise you're wanting to conduct on potentially a lot of divs below 'feed subtitle'
varied hiding techniques: I've already seen them use 'display:none' and 'font-size:0px' (or equivalent). I can imagine others, like giving them a large negative position, or who knows what else. Same color foreground and background, coupled with negative kerning to pull up the gaps?
is your evaluation anchored below the starting point or below the entire HTML page? I'm working in an environment where we hide individual posts -- not permanently, but as a matter of dividing them up into 'tabs' according to search criteria. If your evaluation is anchored at the top of the DOM, you will see every single shred of one of those hidden posts as ... hidden. No useful 'sponsored / not sponsored' determination can be made. However, if your evaluation is anchored at the top of the post (
with id like 'hyperfeed_story_id_gibberish' [except that can vary in different contexts]) -- then this approach will succeed. Um. It would have to ignore the display attribute of that top div._5jmm, which is exactly where we hide / show the post.
filbo

Yeah, I'm not really sure if there's a more efficient alternative, at least this filter can be targeted at only nodes that actually require it. Facebook will likely stop using this obfuscation method if it becomes ineffective.
varied hiding techniques: I've already seen them use 'display:none' and 'font-size:0px' (or equivalent).
I think this method should catch both of those at least.
I can imagine others, like giving them a large negative position
That may be tricky for them to pull off on these elements due to where they are being anchored, I expect this will go through a few rounds of cat and mouse with facebook before they run out of ideas. It should at least be much more effective than the current blocking methods since they can trivially randomize various identifiers.
is your evaluation anchored below the starting point or below the entire HTML page?
The recursive function does evaluation on each feed_sub_title_ node but hides the parent hyperfeed_story_id_ node.
jameshilliard

The recursive function does evaluation on each feed_sub_title_ node but hides the parent hyperfeed_story_id_ node.
Right, that's as expected. My question is ... I don't know if I know the right terminology. Suppose I've already set the hyperfeed_story_id node to display:none (but it's temporary and I provide a user interface for users to toggle it). When you evaluate whether some deep sub-node is display:none (or otherwise hidden), are you tricked by my outer display:none? I suspect yes, if you're using getComputedStyle(). You would have to use a private implementation which is able to anchor its evaluation below that node, for it to be otherwise.
Or, I would have to somehow figure out how to coordinate so that my processing runs after ad blockers'. hmmm.

Yes of course. But, besides the extension I work on toggling on and off individual posts, FB's own code plays all sorts of shenanigans with the display property of individual posts and tranches of posts. If you're evaluating things on a basis of visibility when FB has hidden everything, you will be tricked in either false-positive or false-negative direction. Maybe your processing always gets in before the FB foolery.

As suggested on this thread, I was using the following filter to remove ads from facebook:
www.facebook.com##[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has([id*=feed_subtitle_]):if(a:if(span:has-text(SpSonSsoSredS)):matches-css(display: inline))
However, it stopped working a few days ago.
When I checked the page's source code, I noticed some new elements on the block that creates the SpSonSsoSredS string.
Because of those elements, I cannot find the it anymore when I use C-f on firefox to search it for.
I guess this is the reason why :has-text(SpSonSsoSredS) does not work anymore.
I tried to match the values shown on the source code, but could not match anything more than SpS.
Checking the wiki, I learned that a regular expression can be used in the has-text function.
Then, I implemented the following rule to match the displayed "Sponsored" string:
facebook.com##[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has([id*=feed_subtitle_]):has(a:has-text(/Sp.*on.*so.*red/))
(I'm not sure about each element on between the wildcards, because I'm using a different language, but it should work after some small adjustments).
After adding that rule, I did not see ads anymore.
I also tested it using the element picker, and it did not match any other post that wasn't a sponsored one.

@rgamici Thanks for this. However yours did not block "Sponsored" posts in my feed, and after investigating I noticed that the obfuscated "Sponsored" text was in a <span> not a <a>, so I made one small change to your filter:
facebook.com##[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has([id*=feed_sub_title_]):has(span:has-text(/Sp.*on.*so.*red/))
And this works for me.
mholt

@mholt The <span> elements and some <div>s are inside an <a> on my source file, and are also obfuscated by <span> or <div>, I'm not sure which as both appear on the same positions.
It might be a different template used by facebook to try to obfuscate the adblockers.
I tried to change it to span:has and div:has and both worked for me.
Even a simpler version works:
facebook.com##[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has([id*=feed_subtitle_]):has-text(/Sp.*on.*so.*red/)
I tried the other one because I was scared of some false positives.
But, I think this new one might be enough as has([id*=feed_subtitle_]) will guarantee that it only matches that specific text that it is either Sponsored or the post publication date.

The expressions being discussed _might_ work for you. They will not work for the general populace and should not be committed into the public filter definitions.
The feeds being sent by Facebook to most users contain those same 'Sponsored'-with-gibberish elements in _EVERY_ post. Those expressions will hide all posts.

another filter proposed on reddit
facebook.com##div[id^="hyperfeed_story_id_"]:has(span:has-text(/^d$/))

on 4 Feb 2019
Small trick: use .*? instead of .*.
'sponsored word'.match(/s.*d/)
Array [ "sponsored word" ]
'sponsored word'.match(/s.*?d/)
Array [ "sponsored" ]
About ?:
If used immediately after any of the quantifiers *, +, ?, or {}, makes the quantifier non-greedy (matching the minimum number of times), as opposed to the default, which is greedy (matching the maximum number of times).

I'm sure this breaks regular non-ad "pages" showing up in someone's timeline, but maybe it will be useful for people who also don't care about "pages".
Pages seem to (for now) use the format of
https://www.facebook.com/herowarsgame/?__tn__=kC-R&ei...
While user profiles use
https://www.facebook.com/myfriendsname?__tn
Note the missing '/'. Thus if you want to be really aggressive you can just block everything in a usercontentwrapper that links to a page in a different "directory".
div[class="userContentWrapper"]:has(a[href='facebook'][href*='/?'])

Just somehow counts the child divs, if more than 6 -> ads, normal feed item doesnt have this crap
Elbandi
on 11 Feb 2019
Some normal feed posts have exactly the same crap in them, just a slightly different structure of gibberish CSS classes which overall means 'don't show any part of this'. Counting divs will hide regular posts.
filbo
on 11 Feb 2019
Those are semi-randomly generated, might be stable for your single account for a few hours or days, but that specific gibberish won't apply to other users. And, at least for some users and some messages, FB are including the same gibberish in normal non-sponsored posts, hidden by CSS.
filbo
on 13 Feb 2019
I've worked out a filter that appears to work..
The way the "Sponsored" text works is this:
It has a <span> with a direct child <span>. The child <span> has a single letter in it.
Some child <span> are hidden which contain "fake" letters to obfuscate the word. I assume that these are randomly generated and change.
So the filter is this:
www.facebook.com##div[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has(span:has(span:has-text(/^S/)):has(span:has-text(/^p/)):has(span:has-text(/^o/)):has(span:has-text(/^n/)):has(span:has-text(/^s/)):has(span:has-text(/^o/)):has(span:has-text(/^r/)):has(span:has-text(/^e/)):has(span:has-text(/^d/)))
Translation:
A hyperfeed div
That has a span
That has a child span starting with S
That also has a child span starting with p
That also has a child span starting with o
That also has a child span starting with n
That also has a child span starting with s
That also has a child span starting with o
That also has a child span starting with r
That also has a child span starting with e
That also has a child span starting with d

SecT0uch
on 15 Feb 2019
Looks like my fix from above was broken, due to them renaming span tags to s tags:
Fixed filter is to change the tag names in the filter above:
www.facebook.com##div[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has(span:has(s:has-text(/^S/)):has(s:has-text(/^p/)):has(s:has-text(/^o/)):has(s:has-text(/^n/)):has(s:has-text(/^s/)):has(s:has-text(/^o/)):has(s:has-text(/^r/)):has(s:has-text(/^e/)):has(s:has-text(/^d/)))
However it appears that this is only used in sponsored posts, allowing the much simplified filter of:
www.facebook.com##div[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has(s)
The longer filter above is "more correct" which will be very difficult to have false positives.
The simpler one seems to only target sponsored posts at the moment, but I can't guarantee they haven't or won't in the future introduce s tags to regular posts to try and trick that simple filter.
psylenced
on 18 Feb 2019
They've been turning on and off 's' tags in both Sponsored and regular posts for months now.
filbo
on 18 Feb 2019
Thanks @filbo , I've only just linked in with this issue when I started noticing ads recently.
If they are alternating between tags, then adding both filters should do the job:
www.facebook.com##div[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has(span:has(s:has-text(/^S/)):has(s:has-text(/^p/)):has(s:has-text(/^o/)):has(s:has-text(/^n/)):has(s:has-text(/^s/)):has(s:has-text(/^o/)):has(s:has-text(/^r/)):has(s:has-text(/^e/)):has(s:has-text(/^d/)))
www.facebook.com##div[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has(span:has(span:has-text(/^S/)):has(span:has-text(/^p/)):has(span:has-text(/^o/)):has(span:has-text(/^n/)):has(span:has-text(/^s/)):has(span:has-text(/^o/)):has(span:has-text(/^r/)):has(span:has-text(/^e/)):has(span:has-text(/^d/))
psylenced
on 18 Feb 2019
And when they start mix-and-matching span and s tags? Or invent another, since HTML really doesn't care?
These filters are things which will work for one person, for a couple of days, until FB send them a different one of their rotating file of varied obfuscation devices.
(I also imagine that a chain of :has-text() that deep has to be astonishingly inefficient. In the 's' case that's not a real problem since most things won't be 's' tags, so not much needs to be examined. In the 'span' case you're potentially launching a tremendous effort on each post which goes by.)
filbo
on 18 Feb 2019
And when they start mix-and-matching span and s tags? Or invent another, since HTML really doesn't care?
Then the filter will get updated. Thus why this issue has over 180 comments and the facebook filter has been changed over many iterations.
(I also imagine that a chain of :has-text() that deep has to be astonishingly inefficient.
The filter will be run once per hyper-feed story. Most facebook feeds have 10 or so. As soon as a chain fails, it wont check the rest. So for non-ads It'll do 2-3 checks deep per story. For ads it'll check the whole thing. That's 30 "checks" per page load. Considering javascript can run many thousands of operations in a second and css is the same - the load will be minimal.
psylenced

FB really are using misspelled 'story-subtilte' and will probably get worse.
filbo
on 9 Mar 2019
@krystian3w - the typo was on their side.
It was originally the correct spelling, then a few weeks ago they messed it up. Then in the last day it's back to the correct spelling.
It took me ages to work out why it wasn't working, because I didn't notice the typo when I was trying to test the fix.
psylenced
on 9 Mar 2019
I don't think it's a typo. They keep changing the orthography of various things. For instance, the ID of the subtitle divs has variously been:
id="feed-subtitle-[numeric stuff]"
id="_feed_subtitle_[numeric stuff]"
id="feed_sub_title_[numeric stuff]"
id="feed_subtitle_[numeric stuff]"
over the last year. These small tweaks look like they're meant to break ad blockers; and of course the ad blockers catch on quickly, so FB keep making similar changes to try to stay ahead. If that means misspelling a word for a while, they are not too proud to do that.

I have noticed that the sponsored text detection mechanism is getting more and more cumbersome in facebook, as now they have introduced hidden characters between the alphabets in Sponsored, which would effectively make it difficult to do a text match. Currently the only rule that works for me to completely remove such Sponsored posts is :
www.facebook.com##div[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has(div[id^=fbfeed__sub_header__id_]:has(span[data-ft="{\"tn\":\"j\"}"]))
I cannot vouch for any false positives with this rule, but as far as I could check with over 100 sample posts, this successfully removed sponsored posts without affecting others.

Current working (for me):
www.facebook.com##div[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has(span[data-ft="{\"tn\":\"j\"}"]) www.facebook.com##.pagelet-group .pagelet:has(a:has-text(Sponsored)) www.facebook.com##.pagelet-group .pagelet:has(a:has-text(Create ad))
I haven't had to change the above since April.
Haven't seen a single ad since I added those filters.
Has been working perfectly for me, for 3 months.

Have you verified that those filters aren't blocking any legitimate posts?

If you've been following this issue, you'll have seen the reports that Facebook has been inserting this sort of text into legitimate posts (but suppressing its display with CSS). I am asking whether this is still the case.

The filter I posted above is a subset of :
www.facebook.com##div[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has(span[data-ft="{\"tn\":\"j\"}"]) www.facebook.com##.pagelet-group .pagelet:has(a:has-text(Sponsored)) www.facebook.com##.pagelet-group .pagelet:has(a:has-text(Create ad))I added an additional layer just to ensure legitimate posts are not affected. Also the second filter in that list does not work for me as
a:has-text(Sponsored)has not matched any dom for me, since they moved the text tospan.
Additionally if you would also like to block Suggested for You posts, this filter should do the trick :
www.facebook.com##div[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_] .userContentWrapper div:has-text(Suggested for You)

The 2 filters "sponsored" and "create ad" above are in the right hand sidebar. (pagelets).
Even if they had that text in legitimate posts, the filter wouldn't catch them because it's limited to the panels on the right hand side.

When are these filters (https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/3367#issuecomment-480565210) for Facebook ads being committed to uAssets? Every week someone asks on the subreddit how to block facebook ads... Are we trying to find a solution that will work regardless of language?

I have tried to get filters submitted to uAssets and they say no go I don't know why I think you are better off going through one of the list and try to get it committed through that way

@ansul1001 that hasn't been my experience, whenever I submit a filter here it's gotten accepted. It's possible the filters you wrote were out of scope, but these definitely aren't.

I can understand if they keep changing, but the filters I have suggested have worked since 23 March, which is 5 months. So they should be stable enough to be included.
I'll submit a PR tonight and see how we go.

@psylenced
I've tried that span[data-ft='{"tn":"j"}'] before, and observed that over time FB go through cycles where that sometimes captures non-ad posts. Lots of them.
Other times it's fine.
So if your PR is accepted, expect future bugs of 'it's blocking all my posts', as these waves go by.

Can you post an example of reg post being blocked using the filter provided and a console screen shot
ansul1001

It was months ago; since then I haven't been filtering on that, since I already expected it to cause trouble.
So, just now I've turned that back on and -- so far, it's behaving well.
I still expect to see a wave of regular posts caught by it; like a pulse FB send down occasionally to fend ad blockers off from this datum. I'll monitor it for a while.

I assume it will be two new strings for almost every language, so:
Either regional strings/filters can be added in regional filters,
or maybe there is a DOM solution.

@ansul1001 so where put as regex:

or
##.pagelet-group .pagelet:has(a:has-text(/Create ad|Crear un anuncio|Pulicidad/))

Facebook devs watching this issue confirmed?
Also, existing filter might have false positives...
This works: www.facebook.com##div[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has(._3c21):has(.fbEmuTracking) (probably not for long)

No, 'tn:j' was first mentioned here on March 22, 5 months ago. No response.
'tn:j' was added to live easylist. FB stopped using it within 8 hours.
They're looking at actual list, not all related discussion.
Meanwhile, I have 17 ads in a News Feed tab at the moment; zero instances of class 'fbEmuTracking'.

Here's another filter to test from @ansul1001 on reddit:
facebook.com##div[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has(a[role^=button]:has(> span:has([data-content]):not(:has([data-content="1"])):not(:has([data-content="2"])):not(:has([data-content="3"])):not(:has([data-content="4"])):not(:has([data-content="5"])):not(:has([data-content="6"])):not(:has([data-content="7"])):not(:has([data-content="8"])):not(:has([data-content="9"])):not(:has([data-content="w"])))) - Works for me

Only a matter of time, the real solution we need is :has-visible-text, but I'm unsure of how difficult that would be to implement (probably very).

There's this alternative client for Facebook (Android) that doesn't display ads/sponsored posts. It's a web wrapper for the facebook site. I think its blocking method might be implemented somehow in a ublock filter/userscript

Doesn't work. Does it depend on Facebook's language?
ghost

Maybe... I'm testing it in Spanish, and Facebook injects two iframes into every ad for tracking.
llacb47
on 15 Sep 2019
Hmmm, seems to delete them, but not immediately. On one account there's none of them no matter how much I scroll, whereas on the other one they dissapear after a second or 2
ghost
on 15 Sep 2019
Yeah, I have similar behavior. The newsfeed will refresh itself a few times after loading Facebook and then cosmetic filters have some delay before kicking in. I think that might be a uBo bug (?) or some DOM trickery Facebook does to delay uBo applying the cosmetic filter.

I noticed that facebook changed the css class on the subtitles again. Here are the filters I'm currently using for english:
facebook.com##div[id^="hyperfeed_story_id_"]:has(div[id^=feed_subtitle_]:has-text(/S.*p.*o.*n.*s.*o.*r.*e.*d/))
facebook.com##div[id^="hyperfeed_story_id_"]:has(div[id^=feedsubtitle_]:has-text(/S.*p.*o.*n.*s.*o.*r.*e.*d/))
facebook.com##div[id^="hyperfeed_story_id_"]:has(div[id^=feedlabel_]:has-text(/S.*p.*o.*n.*s.*o.*r.*e.*d/))
Thanks singron
For french i modify a little bit the filter and i am using this one that currently works well :
facebook.com##div[id^="hyperfeed_story_id_"]:has(div[id^=fbfeed_sub__header_]:has-text(/S.*p.*o.*n.*s.*o.*r.*i.*s.*é/))

Despite multiple issues to fix Bing Ads, there has been no response whatsoever and agitation from repo maintainers:
So, referencing my issue here:
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/6887#issuecomment-578509029
Let's name and shame ublock origin until their ego issues get resolved.

Have been using this pattern for a while to block out sponsored posts :
www.facebook.com##div[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has(div[data-testid="fb-testid-feed-subtilte"]:has(span:has(span:has(span:has(a:has(span))))))
So far so good.

This HTML corresponds to a visible output of 16 hrs (it's not a sponsored post, even though all the letters of Sponsored are present). The relevant corresponding CSS looks like
.t_9jr4kntbs {
display:none
}
.r_9jr4kntbr {
position:relative
}
.y_9jr4kogwp::after {
content:attr(data-content)
}
.y_9jr4kogwp::before {
content:var(--node-value)
}
Unfortunately the use of data-content with the :after{content} CSS appears to render the text invisible to has-text, so we have to look at the CSS properties directly. Luckily uBO added matches-css, so we can do something like this:
facebook.com##div[role^=article]:has(div[id^=feedlabel_] span:matches-css(display:inline)[data-content^=S])
This is not a complete solution yet because it would block posts containing Saturday, for example. A better, more general solution would allow us to inspect the matches of matches-css sequentially, to check for S, p, o, n, ... Maybe some kind of nth operator on the matches-css result? Someone with more CSS-fu than me might know.
Something like this works completely (on my feed at least - probably needs to be combined with other solutions here for a complete filter) because sponsored posts never have numbers in the distractor letters, but regular posts (apparently) always do:
facebook.com##div[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has(div[id^=feedlabel_] span:matches-css(display:inline)[data-content^=S]):not(:has(div[id^=feedlabel_] span:matches-css(display:inline)[data-content^='0'],[data-content^='1'],[data-content^='2'],[data-content^='3'],[data-content^='4'],[data-content^='5'],[data-content^='6'],[data-content^='7'],[data-content^='8'],[data-content^='9']))
It's fragile though so it's not something that would work long-term. FB is using different anti-adblock techniques for different users, so YMMV. However, hopefully what I've posted here is more of a general bypass of one (nasty) technique rather than something that is precisely specific to my feed.
Other options: maybe has-text could be augmented to include CSS content and ignore display:none? It sounds potentially expensive, so maybe it would go under a new has-visible-text selector or something like that for special cases like this.

I've noticed the id for fbfeed_sub_header_id_ has a different amount of underscores for every user here. So I used data-testid="fb-testid-feedsub-title" like @l-easwar-akiyama.
There is a difference however, as I have feedsub-title and l-easwar-akiyama uses feed-subtilte, so maybe FB is messing with that title as well.
My working filter for dutch is now: facebook.com##div[id^="hyperfeed_story_id_"]:has(div[data-testid="fb-testid-feedsub-title"]:has-text(/G.*e.*s.*p.*o.*n.*s.*o.*r.*d/))
I noticed this does slow down FB on initial pageload. I'm guessing this is since FB directly has to load more posts as there is no more ad to fill the page until the fold...

www.facebook.com##div[id^="hyperfeed_story_id_"]:has(div[id^="fbfeed_sub_header__id_"]:has-text(/S.*p.*o.*n.*s.*o.*r.*e.*d/))
works as of now.
@Zombaya your rule assumes
<div class="_5pcp _5lel _2jyu _232_" id="fbfeed_sub_header__id_*" data-testid="fb-test-id-feed-sub-tilte"></div>
which has a typo in title.
also it's good to stay away from test features.
It'd be good if you added some .* in between fbfeed_sub_header__id.

If you scroll through your feed and come across a video and let it play, the video will disappear after some time before finishing. There was nothing in the logs but disabling uBlock fixes the issue.

@aAmahQpwRk you need to do it yourself, based on what Facebook uses in your region. Like in https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/3367#issuecomment-568143390, we see that slight changes in underscores (_) is all is required. So you should find a sponsored post, inspect element, and scan the HTML/CSS for similar words and replace them in the filter I posted above.
What you can also do is keep hovering in the code till only the sponsored post is highlighted, not any other post above or below it. Then copy that specific portion on pastebin etc and share the link. If you feel there's something to redact, do so.
z-aki
on 7 Apr 2020
Any idea why
facebook.com##div[id^="hyperfeed_story_id_"]:has(div[id^="fbfeed_s_header_id_"]:has-text(/S.*p.*o.*n.*s.*o.*r.*e.*d/))
is 'destroying' my timeline? It keeps refreshing over and over again. I also tried
www.facebook.com##div[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has(div[data-testid="fb-testid-feed-subtilte"]:has(span:has(span:has(span:has(a:has(span))))))
with different variants of fb-testid-feed-subtilte or hyperfeed_story_id_, but my timeline goes crazy, the ads disappear and load again and again, basically my screen is flickering.

@popadi that is the updated filter I'm using too, it changed some days ago. Cannot redo such error. You can try disabling other extensions & rules (that there might be for FB).

@anktkr Just tried it, my timeline is mad with this too. I only use uBlock (no AdBlock). It seems facebook is reloading the ads or something like this. I already hate it.
popadi
on 13 Apr 2020
@popadi type that into the element picker mode's box and do a preview. It shouldn't capture normal posts. Can't think of anything that can stop the site reloading the posts.
I use uBlock with zero other customisations. You can try this:
back up the extension, load factory settings, add this single filter and open FB. hope it works then & you can single out the cause.

Alternative:
AdGuard addon 1.7 (free) - if support AdGuard scripts/scriplets / css (rather weak) / procedural filtering (extendCSS)
AdGuard app - 2.5.X (paid) - should support load any custom script with property configuration - AdGuard hide selfpromotion with script instead of procedural filtering (extendCSS).

@anktkr I'm using 1.24.4 on Chrome 80.0.3987.163. If I go to the developer tools in the network tab and hit refresh after activating the filter, it goes crazy. It makes about 700+ requests and my timeline flickers for about 15-20 seconds, like it's being filtered real time, lol. Then the scrolling is not very smooth, it randomly jumps, because facebook keeps bringing back to life ads and uBlock tries to kill them. Oof
popadi
on 13 Apr 2020
(1) the filter expressions mentioned here recently are ultra-terrible
(2) if your FB news feed is going nuts like that, turn off all ad blockers and look at what it looks like in 'normal space'. FB sometimes purely goes nuts. If they're jamming a continuous stream of nothing but ads down the pipe, that's what it's going to look like -- ad blocker continuously destroying them and nothing else becoming visible. In that case it isn't the ad blocker's fault, just FB having one of its typical brain haemorrhages

@nneonneo so this layout has been rolled out in other countries too & is likely to become the default.
I think that a combination of data-pagelet="FeedUnit_ (the highest level box for a feed item) and href=/ads/about/?_ (the link under the word sponsored) can be used for a filter.
z-aki
on 29 May 2020
The following works only after you hover on the word Sponsored since that's when the link is generated(?) But that defeats the purpose of an adblock. If someone else can make it work, please let us know.
www.facebook.com##[data-pagelet^="FeedUnit_"]:has([href^="/ads/about/"])
The following works nicely. It Also blocks the two ad panels in the right sidebar.
It's a modified version of the one I had mentioned at https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/3367#issuecomment-612970458, so if that didn't work for you, good luck.
www.facebook.com##[data-pagelet^="FeedUnit_"]:has-text(/S.*p.*o.*n.*s.*o.*r.*e.*d.*/)
I'm using Safari and ublock-origin-safari.

@llacb47 I didn't update to safari 13. So, even if it is outdated for people on chrome or mozilla, it works for me. I don't know how much has the syntax changed for the current release for ubo, but the crucial bit is there in my comment.
z-aki
on 29 May 2020
And so it will probably fall because they change the name of the attribute (data-pagelet) or its value (FeedUnit_) in the feature.

EasyList use strange filter:
hide "sponsored" text after hover and And you will no longer know if the post was sponsored.
krystian3w

this filter should probably be removed as it's not helping in any way, the ads link is only generated on hover, and it only hide the link, not the ads

So what is the point?

EL has long been blocking tiny "AD" icons to indicate they're ads, probably under an assumption the ads' body is blocked by other filters, which is not always true.

##span[dir="auto"]:has-text(Suggested for You):upward(div[data-pagelet*="FeedUnit"])
or
##div[data-pagelet*="FeedUnit"]:has(span[dir="auto"]:has-text(Suggested for You))
IMO second is better/lighter for CPU:
151
span[dir="auto"]check vs 14div[data-pagelet*="FeedUnit"]check.
I have no idea how to detect this without basing it on the words of the specified language.

That was fast, it's working perfectly, thank you again kind hero!

They have not yet broken down the words so that the letters have a separate html element and, in addition, some false letters ones in between.
If they do so, the filter will fall off immediately.

Since it's not ads, I don't think they will change anything soon because I don't think they gain money from that.

I've been using this lately, second one might match regular posts with Suggested for You in it but idc. The first one seems solid afaict.

No solid if your FB interface use other language than English (French, Spanish, Portugese, German, Chinese).

https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/3367#issuecomment-664154583 + https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/3367#issuecomment-664181226
So for few user needed added hidden "pokemon" or "strange regex":
SsSsPpOooOnnNnnsSsoOOrRroOoOWwWaAanNnEeE- short "Sponsorowane"./S.*p.*o.*n.*s.*o.*r.*o.*w.*a.*n.*e/- maybe match too many posts.
Besides, maybe they're trying to disable our vigilance - back works the simple filters and in a few days they'll turn back the strange way they generate words and clicks with javascript events instead of the simple [href] with html.

shouldn't the first one be hidden by facebook.com##div[data-pagelet*="FeedUnit"]:has(span[class] + [role*="n"] > span > span + span)? FB banned my test account lol.

Now facebook no use many <span>-s; so filter no longer match:
> span > span + span and > span:only-child > span:first-child + span:last-child

Okay...so maybe I need to create a new account unless you find a new global solution or someone tells me the Japanese translation of "Sponsored" (usually "スポンサード" but sometimes not).
Yuki2718
on 4 Oct 2020
おすすめ=Suggested for You/Propozycje dla Ciebie/Рекомендуется вам
but sometimes not
広告/aria-label="広告"= strictAdvert/advertisementno translated form "Sponsored".
So not "Sponsored" but "Ad" - Similar to Russian visionary: Реклама ("Reklama"), also not use "Sponsored".

I gave up and started using Facebook Purity. No issues now and even keeping
the old Facebook rather than the new one with loads of other options

Recently all my ads have had aria-label so I'll use it until it stops working. I wonder whether they care at all about accessibility - it would be pretty shitty if people using screen readers had a hard time telling what was an ad.

@krystian3w Thank you for taking time to investigate! I'll add them to my lists.

I feels like new Facebook somehow have similar element hint like mobile touch, such as [role="article"], that can identify as post item, with [data-testid="Keycommand_wrapper"] and [data-testid="Keycommand_wrapper_feed_story"] named at upper DOM node, even they also put the random and scramble [class] ID higher.
For example, I've done remove On this day promote in news feed in this experiment
And still, I never use the main desktop site for reading news feed (even I've forced and frequent to open recent instead of algorithm'd sorts), except pages only feed is seems to be okay to test.

mid-roll ads also someone reported on reddit.
krystian3w
on 8 Oct 2020
For "Suggested for You" maybe these no longer based on language:
##div[data-pagelet*="FeedUnit"]:has(div:not([class]):not([id]):empty ~ div:not([class]):not([id]) > div:not([class]):not([id]) > div:not([class]):not([id]):first-child:has(span[dir="auto"]:only-child) + div:not([class]):not([id]) + div:not([class]):not([id]) + div:not([class]):not([id]):last-child)
In short these post have one div with "specific" span, no added to normal/"sponsored" posts.

Don't know is they want to separate each letters after this or not...
You may need to change sponsored words in your language.
##div[data-pagelet="RightRail"] div[class] h3[dir]:has(span[dir]:has-text(/Sponsored/)):upward(7)
Or remove right pane entirely, if you want (of course, I am...)
##div[data-pagelet="RightRail"]:remove()
kowith337
on 16 Oct 2020
The right column block is useful, a marker when friends have logged out or you can have a permanent chat there pinned.
krystian3w
on 16 Oct 2020
I agree, removing the whole panel will be a big waste.
Now, I just hope that someone will find a solution for the ads in the middle of videos.
Dark-Yox

Are
facebook.com##div[data-pagelet*="FeedUnit"]:has(div[aria-label="Sponsored"])
facebook.com##div[data-pagelet*="FeedUnit"]:has-text(Suggested for You)
obsolete now?
Yuki2718
on 17 Oct 2020
Because I have no interests to turn on the online status indicator to let others see me that I'm already online or I've just active in any moments ago, although you cannot hide yourself about how many time passed since you're online because Facebook will still expose your status by capturing user's interactons, such as like to, commented on, watched some videos, etc.
In fact, of course you need to turn your online status to on for just see how many ppls are online and/or ready to chat, include some notices about events, birthdays, etc. so it's up to your guys if you want to keep the right pane visible or not.

Dark-Yox

I would suggest perhaps a test with :remove().
Sometimes I see a series of suggestions, e.g. 20 to 80 posts is just one.

I'm surprised it's still working, I was using these for almost a month before posting here. I wasn't sure if a FB employee watching this thread would immediately fix their mistake in obfuscation.

As long as it is not globally available on the list, they probably do not care.

the filter of kowith337 is working, changing /Sponsored/ for Publicidad in spanish version
in: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace i made this filter and is hiding the ads:
facebook.com##a[aria-label="Enlace del anunciante"] 😆
Example with filter and no filter in marketplace page

@krystian3w Sorry but can you confirm the Japanese translation of Sponsored in ##div[data-pagelet="RightRail"] div[class] h3[dir]:has(span[dir]:has-text(/Sponsored/)):upward(7) is 広告 too?
Yuki2718
on 18 Oct 2020
Yes: 広告

The advertisements do not match the interface language or IP from the VPN.

PS. marketplace mixed English and Japanese, header "Sponsored" not was translated to: 広告 ("Advert").

Ads showing up in the middle of some videos (can only reproduce in the main feed, wasn't able to reproduce in the page's feed)
snip screenies)
Can confirm this on my side, seeing those ads in between videos. UBlock blocked these before, since last week they appeared. Guess I have to install another 3rd party extension to block them :/

Maybe AdGuard Base blocked mid-roll ads with +js( / redirect or simple block network filter:
subscribe: AdGuard Base for uBlock Origin
❓
If Facebook use SSAI, uBO may no block this ads.

ads are back on homepage
aria-label="Sponsorisé" (sponsored)
this works
facebook.com##div[data-pagelet^="FeedUnit_"]:has(a[aria-label="Sponsorisé"])

on 20 Oct 2020
I use this facebook.com##div[data-pagelet^="FeedUnit"]:has(a[aria-label="Sponsored"]), as the aria-label is localised. The a does have a semi-random href referring to a page with info about ads, so maybe that can be used

facebook.com##div[data-pagelet*="FeedUnit"]:has(div[aria-label="Sponsored"])
Stopped working for me so now I use
facebook.com##div[data-pagelet*="FeedUnit"]:has(span[aria-label="Sponsored"])
I'm keeping them both enabled since they seem pretty safe
stephen304
on 15 Nov 2020
facebook.com##div[data-pagelet*="FeedUnit"]:has(span[aria-label="Sponsored"])
This has the downside of blocking every post that has been sponsored, even if it isn't been shown on your feed as an ad (such as from pages you follow)

@Epse That's fine by me heh
stephen304
on 15 Nov 2020
even if it isn't been shown on your feed as an ad (such as from pages you follow)
One attrib [aria-label="Sponsored"] is embeded on all posts, so span maybe is a bait:
<span aria-label="Sponsored">
An a tag with that attribute is only embedded on actual ads

Hello
I found something there. But the list is getting too big
www.facebook.com ## div: nth-of-type (2)> .sjgh65i0.l9j0dhe7.k4urcfbm.du4w35lb> .l9j0dhe7.du4w35lb
www.facebook.com ## div: nth-of-type (3)> .sjgh65i0.l9j0dhe7.k4urcfbm.du4w35lb> .l9j0dhe7.du4w35lb
www.facebook.com ## div: nth-of-type (7)> .sjgh65i0.l9j0dhe7.k4urcfbm.du4w35lb> .l9j0dhe7.du4w35lb
www.facebook.com ## div: nth-of-type (8)> .sjgh65i0.l9j0dhe7.k4urcfbm.du4w35lb> .l9j0dhe7.du4w35lb
div: nth-of-type (2)
the number changes because someone can do something.

No help - crap compressed CSS clasess, maybe not stable.
Also:
I suppose all posts have .sjgh65i0.l9j0dhe7.k4urcfbm.du4w35lb > .l9j0dhe7.du4w35lb

Do not rely on picker-generated rules. Right-click on the ads, Inspect element, and take screenshots.

Through all the cat and mouse with facebook, this rule has continued to pay dividends :laughing:
facebook.com##div[data-pagelet*="FeedUnit"]:has-text("Many failed before. Will YOU complete the trial")
Hello, since few days facebook get flooded with Sponsored ads again, this rule do not work anymore:
# Anti Adblock facebook.com #3367
# https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/3367
facebook.com##div[data-pagelet^="FeedUnit_"]:has(a[aria-label="Gesponsert"])
facebook.com##div[data-pagelet^="FeedUnit_"]:has(a[aria-label="Sponsored"])
facebook.com##div[data-pagelet^="FeedUnit_"]:has(a[aria-label="Create ad"])
As looking for a solution for this issue, I found a chrome extension which works surprising well
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fblock-sponsored/njcnnfelhkehnacoabhefefkbmloakkf
Looking truh the sourcecode I found this:
/**
* @file F.Block Sponsored 2.9.6
* @copyright F.Block Sponsored 2020
*/
$(function(){let e=function(){let e,i=$(document),n=0;function t(e){0!==e.length&&(e.remove(),chrome.runtime.sendMessage({blockedCount:++n}))}if($("#MNewsFeed").length){let n='div[data-sigil="m-feed-voice-subtitle"] > :first-child:not(a)',o="article";function s(){t($(this).closest(o))}function d(){t($(this).not(":has(*)").closest(o))}return e="article > header",t($(n).closest(o)),t($(e).not(":has(*)")),i.unbindArrive(n,s),i.unbindArrive(e,d),i.arrive(n,s),void i.arrive(e,d)}let o='div[data-pagelet^="FeedUnit_"]',a='div[role="feed"] div .qzhwtbm6.knvmm38d > span > span[id]:not([class]) > a:nth-child(2)[role="link"]';function s(){const e=$(this).children();e.length&&t(e.eq(0).closest(o))}function d(){t($(this).not(":has(> a)").closest(o))}e='div[class="dati1w0a hv4rvrfc"] > div > div > div > span',t($(a).closest(o)),t($(e).not(":has(> a)").closest(o)),i.unbindArrive(a,s),i.unbindArrive(e,d),i.arrive(a,s),i.arrive(e,d)};e(),$(window).bind("hashchange",e)});
Can someone so kind and make a working rule from this for uBlock? So I don't relay on another extension to keep facebook clean.
Thanks!
