Facebook Sponsors

Is there a way to get rid of the "sponsor" section on the right side of Facebook? I can block the picture, but not the whole section.

Try the Element Hiding Helper http://adblockplus.org/en/elemhidehelper

It will help you create a rule to hide the "sponsor" section.

Hint: Use the "N" & "W" keys to get the best match (usually the very outer most selection)

Don't forget to post back with your results so we all can benefit !!

I think I got it:

facebook.com#DIV(id=home_sponsor)

Thanks, the element hiding helper really helped out!

Happy to help. Thanks for posting back...

Looks like it might be a good rule for EasyElement.

Since FB unveiled the changes to the home page, the ads are back again

Aye, they are.. two different kinds. The ones on the right I was able to come up with this filter:

facebook.com#div(class*=UIHotStory_Ad)

which gets rid of them. Unfortunately, application spam is back too now, and I cannot find any way to get rid of it. Before I had a filter similar to

facebook.com#div(class*=app_story)

but that doesn't work anymore. I noticed each app has a unique "id", but when I try to filter with that, it either blocks EVERY news story so the home page is blank, or just doesn't work at all:

facebook.com##DIV#c49bc4dc54bd801353332042 *

The good thing is again, the annoying app story spam is associated with a unique id for that app, so it should be easy to filter. The bad thing.. for some reason the filter won't work. Any ideas?
