Block / Hide Sponsored Posts and Suggested Posts on Facebook with FB Purity
FBP v37.1.3 is out now! (This version is not yet available for Edge as Microsoft are slow to approve extension updates)
This version should fix hiding Sponsored Posts for most people (Fingers crossed). Please note: If you are using the Brave browser, you will need to turn off Brave Shields for Facebook, to get this functionality to work.
If you have v37.1.3 installed and are still seeing Sponsored Posts, click on the 3 dot menu “…” at the top right of any Sponsored Post, then click the “Zap the Ads” menu option, then after reloading the page, the Sponsored Posts should be gone.
This version also fixes the hide “Stories” Newsfeed filter option.
Let me know if this version fixes hiding Sponsored Posts for you or not (Please also mention which browser and browser version number you are using, thanks!)
Your browser has probably by now already updated you to the latest version of FBP, if not it should do shortly.
Clean up and Customize Facebook with the safe, free and top rated F.B. Purity browser add-on.

** UPDATE REGARDING HIDING REELS POSTS **
Facebook have tweaked their code for “Reels” posts, which has broken FBP’s Hide Reels option, however theres a simple workaround for this, just put the word Reels into FBP’s Text Filter box, then click “Save and Close” and that should fix filtering out Reels posts from the Newsfeed
I have FBP set to show my feed in chronological order. Today, for the first time, Meta is showing only the two most recent posts, followed by a message saying, “You’re all caught up on Most Recent posts – Check back later for more updates.”
This prevents me from scrolling down my feed. It seems like it is designed to disrupt FBP.
no, its nothing to do with fbp. its to disrupt people viewing the most recent feed. facebook dont want people to look at that feed, so they make it crap. they prefer you to view the default newsfeed which uses the “top posts” algorithm
Sponsored ads still showing up for me using Chrome Version 122.0.6261.129 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Windows 11.
Please read the post you are replying to
And now that Chrome has updated again, I find that I no longer see the sponsored ads so maybe it was a version issue with Chrome? It was current as of the comment posting but today it’s brand new and the sponsored ads no longer seem to show.
Sorry to bother you for what appears to be a version issue with Chrome.
On v37.1.1 (Chrome) and it seems every other post is a “Sponsored Post”
please read the post you are replying to, it explains what you need to do
Looks like the ads are completely eradicated now, except for when I press the “home”(house) button. Then they’re back until I press refresh (F5). Strange behaviour indeed! (Ubuntu Linux, Firefox 129.0.2)
yes that is strange indeed. is it still happening? do you have the “news sort: most recent” option turned on?
Um, I love what you do. Probably would not be a facebook guy without you. But the ads are back with a vengeance. Just thought you should know before I give up on facebook. ads in my feedline are very annoying after using you for so long. Thanks for all you have done for us all.
please read the post you are replying to, it explains how to block sponsored posts.
What to do if the “zap ads” option doesn’t appear?
some users have mentioned that sometimes f you hover the mouse pointer over the “…” drop down menu for a while, the zap the ads option will appear. if it doesnt, try reloading the page, or restarting your browser.
No longer works on Avast Secure Browser – no Zap the Adds etc
im aware the zap the ads option does not show on all posts, not sure why that happens at present. it seems to only show on the first 3 posts or so in the feed. if the sponsored post appears in the top 3 posts, use the zap function, and it should fix your issue with seeing sponsored posts. alternatively, you could try resetting your browser zoom level, and reset any changes to the font you may have made back to the browser/site defaults, as that will help make the hide sponsored posts code work better.
I am not seeing the Zap the Ads option for sponsored posts.

First, THANKS for creating such a great browser add-on! It’s truly amazing. Thank you!
However, I’m a little confused. This page, that I am posting this comment on, says that “FBP v37.1.3 is out now!” (dated Mar 10, 2025), but another page on your site says “F.B Purity v37.1.4 is out now!” (dated Jan 8, 2025), and yet when I open FBP (options) on my Facebook page on my local computer, it shows that I am using F.B. Purity v37.3.0 …what am I missing, or is there a problem?
the version numbers are a bit out of sync at present due to the way the different browser companies review and approve extension updates. each company takes a different amount of time to approve updates. some take a few hours, some take days, and sometimes even longer.
the latest version that is in the process of being published is actually 37.3 when all browser companies approve the update i will update the documentation etc.
