Tracking & Ad Removal on Facebook Autor: Z

Please report bugs at https://github.com/mgziminsky/FacebookTrackingRemoval/issues
Ad blocking may not work properly in languages other than English.

Removes Ads and the user interaction tracking from content on Facebook™.
Modified elements can optionally have a custom CSS style applied to them so that cleaned items can be more easily identified.

For links, the event listeners on the link and its parents are removed and/or disabled and a proper href is set.

For videos on mobile, all Facebook™ event-listeners and custom controls are removed, and the video is simplified into just the bare HTML5 video tag.

Explanation of permissions:

• Access to facebook.com, messenger.com, and facebookwkhpilnemxj7asaniu7vnjjbiltxjqhye3mhbshg7kx5tfyd.onion is needed for main functionality, in order to work on those pages.
• Access to mgziminsky.gitlab.io, more specifically https://mgziminsky.gitlab.io/FacebookTrackingRemoval/*, is used to download ad blocking rules only
• webNavigation: Needed to handle cleaning FB interactions that use the browser history API instead of doing a normal page navigation
  • Firefox: "Access browser activity during navigation"
  • Chrome: "Read your browsing history"
    • This is misleading. See here

Project is completely open source, so you are welcome, and encouraged, to check the code yourself before installing.
