Facebook Annoyances filter?

[Dark Onyx]

Hello!

This is a filter I wish Adguard on iOS had! In 9/10 times I browse Facebook on desktop version with Safari on iOS and I wish there was a good way to disable those annoying elements on Facebook (like sponsored posts/ads etc.).

The filter I'm talking about it this one: https://facebook.adblockplus.me/ (especially the "Block all Facebook annoyances" option). I really think it does an awesome job

Thanks a lot in advance and if this filter would be added to the already awesome list that would make me place this content blocker at the very top list of all iOS content blockers, miles ahead of big names like Weblock and 1Blocker!

Sincerely,
Dark Onyx

Hm, you can type these rules manually into Adguard's user filter.

We currently don't provide an import feature, so the only way is to enter them manually one by one.

Wow, that was quite a list! Sad to hear you don't got an import feature yet (especially a method to add more than one rule at a time), but thanks for putting them on this clean list, will try and add the rules and see how they will work out for me!

Wanted to update on this. Tried to import/add all lines you posted here but unfortunately it didn't block or hide any elements as intended... so either the syntax is wrong or there's more (which doesn't make sense...)
I hope you can help me further regarding this, thanks!

@Dark Onyx

Hm, which elements exactly do you want to be blocked?

I've just noticed that you were talking about sponsored posts. Currently there's no way to block sponsored posts with a content blocker since facebook has started their anti-adblocking campaign. We can do it on all other platforms, but on iOS we are limited to content blocking API provided by Apple.

Oh, that's very unfortunate... do you know if there will be a workaround sometime in the future? That is, a way to work with the limited API?
And, is it that one of the rules won't work as intended, or is there "something else" that is beyond those rules that other platforms use?

In future when Safari starts supporting CSS4 we'll be able to hide sponsored posts even with the content blocking API.

And, is it that one of the rules won't work as intended, or is there "something else" that is beyond those rules that other platforms use?

The rules are ok and supported by Adguard. Adguard for other platforms just have more capabilities.

Try "friendly +". The app blocks the complete Facebook Advertising.

greets.

The problem with "friendly +" is that it's just a wrapper for Facebook Mobile with some small additional features (and can link Instagram account as well like a hub).
But what I'm looking for is how to block the ads, sponsored posts etc. on the desktop version of Facebook with my iPhone/iPad. There are some features that aren't present on the mobile site or functions poorly.
