Adblock not working on fb

Post by JunieB »

Or at least it isn't working the way I understand that it should. I installed Adblock (for Chrome) a month or two ago and it worked great - no more ads filling up the right side of my fb page. And then suddenly, yesterday, the ads reappeared. They're especially annoying once you've lived without them! Any idea why it suddenly stopped working and is there anything I can do about it? Has fb figured out a way to circumvent Adblock?

Same here, getting the "Sponsored" sidebar on the right - any suggestions as to how to get rid of it would be appreciated!

Instructions on what to do with this are not very clear.
I tried adding this by: Addons: ABP Options > Filter Preferences > Custom Filters> Add Filer
No luck. Failbook seems to have totally powned ABP.

I think we just haven't found what element, if any, to hide.
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.
