To block Facebook ads permanently, here are some steps you can take:
1. Use an ad-blocking browser extension: Install an ad-blocking extension on your web browser like AdBlock Plus or uBlock Origin. These extensions can help block ads from appearing on your Facebook feed.
2. Adjust your Facebook ad preferences: Facebook allows you to customize the types of ads you see based on your interests. To do this, go to your Facebook settings and click on “Ads” in the left-hand column. From there, you can edit your preferences and choose the types of ads you want to see or hide.
3. Hide individual ads: If you come across an ad that you find annoying or irrelevant, you can hide it. To do this, click on the three dots in the top right corner of the ad and select “Hide ad.” Facebook will then ask you for the reason you want to hide the ad and give you the option to hide all ads from that particular advertiser.
4. Provide feedback on ads: Facebook allows you to give feedback on why you don’t want to see a particular ad. This feedback helps Facebook understand your preferences better and might improve the relevance of the ads you see in the future. To provide feedback, click on the three dots in the top right corner of the ad and select “Why am I seeing this ad?” You can then choose to hide the ad or customize your ad preferences based on the given options.
5. Opt-out of ads based on your activity on websites and apps: Facebook tracks your activity on websites and apps to show you personalized ads. If you don’t want Facebook to use this information for ad targeting, you can opt-out. To do this, go to your Facebook settings, click on “Ads” in the left-hand column, and under “Ad settings,” select “Ads based on data from partners.” From there, you can manage your preferences and disable this feature.
It’s important to note that while these steps can help reduce the number and relevance of ads you see on Facebook, it’s not possible to completely block all ads. Facebook relies on ads for its revenue, so they will still be present to some extent.
