@FrankConijn Is advanced filtering enabled?

[FrankConijn]

@FrankConijn Is advanced filtering enabled?

Yes, everything is enabled: General, Privacy, Custom, Social, Security, and Avanced (9713 rules).

[Alex-302]

Please try to disable-enable content blockers in Safari settings and restart Safari, and check for filters update. Do not close AdGuard window ~90 seconds, because iOS will breaks configuration process.

Is view set to recent posts? If yes, please try this rule: facebook.com#$?#h2[dir="auto"] + div > div[class]:has( div[aria-posinset] div[style*="border-radius"] div[class] + div div[class] > div[class] > span[dir="auto"] > span[id] > span > span[class] > a[href] > span > span[aria-labelledby] svg > use[xlink\:href="#gid1"]) { height: 1px !important; visibility: hidden !important; }

Where can you put in rules?

[BlazDT]

User Filter.

[shaz99-99]

Please see also case #151730

[shaz99-99]

Where can you add rules? I don’t see any such option in the app

[shaz99-99]

User Filter.

I don’t see where to do that in the app

Done that. Unfortunately, no cure. Ads still appear every 4 messages.

I added the rule; no effect, unfortunately. But where can I check that I have View set to Recent Posts? I think I have because I get new messages every day, but I'm not sure.

I’ve also managed to add the rule (took me some time to find out where to do that) - ads are still showing. My Facebook view is set to recent posts.

[BlazDT]

Most recent can be viewed via this way: Tap in the top right of Facebook. Scroll down and tap Most Recent.

Sadly I cannot reproduce on Mobile and very rarely on Desktop with that setting. @AdamWr do you see those ads?

[AdamWr]

I have added a rule to hide sponsored posts in Feeds (Most Recent) tab, about 1 hour ago (but I have checked it out only on desktop, I'm not sure if it will works on mobile). Filters update should be available now.

[shaz99-99]

Still happening, please see screenshot

[FrankConijn]

I had my filters updated and both apps restarted. But it did not cure the problem in iOS Safari, unfortunately.

What also makes no difference is me having all Facebook cookies (https://www.facebook.com/settings/cookie/) and external Meta ads (https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences/ad_settings/?section=audience_network&entry_product=accounts_center) allowed or disallowed.

[Alex-302]

@FrankConijn Do you see ads only on this site? Is AdGuard detected on this page? https://adguard.com/test.html

[FrankConijn]

Hi,

If you mean “Do you see ads only on Facebook?”, the answer is affirmative. On other pages, I see no ads, except for an occasional standard ad such as the Free Coding Assessment ad on https://www.sitepoint.com/community/t/how-to-add-an-element-after-an-element-in-modern-vanilla-javascript/417884. (And like I already wrote, I use Safari to visit Facebook.)

Regarding your test page, this is the result:

Adguard app : Active

Adguard VPN: Not active

Adguard Extra: Not active

Adguard DNS: Active

Kind regards,

Frank Conijn

I use Safari to visit Facebook

Safari does not have native support of advanced rules. I am sure this is a reason. Our implementation may work unstable (advanced rules executed too late).

[FrankConijn]

I don't know whether you or Facebook changed anything, but since a week or two, I don't see any ads anymore. :-)

[Alex-302]

@FrankConijn Probably that's because of non-native implementation of advanced filtering. Sometimes it requires refreshing the page several times to start applying advanced protection.

[FrankConijn]

@Alex-302 -- I wonder whether that's the issue. What I forgot to mention is that I don't see anymore ads in the Facebook app either. :-D

[FrankConijn]

RECALL. Unfortunately, the ad-free episode was short-lived. They're back, both in the Facebook app and in Safari. Bummer. :-(
