Facebook Sponsored News Remover

Removes sponsored news in the news feed.

Script to remove the sponsored ads/news in the newsfeed on the Home page. Let me know if it stops working.

At the moment, it triggers on any span that contains the word 'Sponsored' which is kinda dangerous I know.

Feel free to take it make it work better.

Tweaked it so it runs on home.php regardless of parameters (it didn't run without the trailing ?) and only deletes if the span contents matches pefectly (seems to work fine) // ==UserScript== // @name Facebook Sponsored News Remover // @author Tosk // @date 2006-11-11 // @version 1.0 // @namespace http://www.tosker.net // @description Removes sponsored news in the news feed. // @include http://*.facebook.com/home.php* // ==/UserScript== (function() { var ttags = document.getElementsByTagName('span'); //alert(ttags[0]); for (var i=0;i < ttags.length;i++) if (ttags[i].innerHTML == "Sponsored") { ttags[i].parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.removeChild(ttags[i].parentNode.parentNode.parentNode); //ttags[i].parentNode.parentNode.insertBefore("

",ttags[i]); } })();

I was just looking for a script like this to deal with the sponsored news that seems to be more frequent lately. Thanks!
