Can you block advertising on Facebook?
The topic of Facebook advertising: We keep receiving inquiries, like this one right now: “ Do you have any information about this flood of advertising currently on FB? I'm inundated with all kinds of crap advertising between my friends' posts. Can I change advertising settings? Thank you very much! “
First of all: Blocking advertising in general is not possible without tools such as browser extensions or other apps. Since malware often sneaks into these extensions and apps, we will not go into this topic in more detail and advise against installing such extensions and apps.
But you can influence advertising on Facebook!
Facebook itself writes the following in its help section:
- Screenshot: Facebook / Hide ad
- Click in the top right of the ad
.
- Select Hide Ad.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
To hide all ads from an advertiser:
- Click in
the top right of the ad and select, Why am I seeing this ad? .
- Options menu , then Hide all ads from this advertiser .
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
