    Works great. A slight downside is some posts pending approval to a group admin/moderator get blocked. A quick toggle in the extension menu to turn off would be awesome!

    It's not working anymore, but it was the only one that worked for a while.

    Ad hiding is fixed again. Get the update by clicking the "Refresh Rules" button under the advanced options or restarting your browser.

    EXCELLENT addon, would have given 5 stars but it also breaks some functionality; when trying to edit or delete comments the option panel does not appear (when in the theater mode); and hitting the . . . edit button on public walls causes the browser window to jump to the top of the facebook page; Using Windows 7 SP3 64; Using the latest Firefox 57 64 build.

    Would you be willing to open an issue on the project development page?
    https://github.com/mgziminsky/FacebookTrackingRemoval/issues

    If you open an issue there and provide me with some more details, it will be easier to look into and track progress. If you could provide your enabled options and ideally some basic screenshots of the expected vs broken behavior, it would be a huge help for me to identify and fix the problems.

    Is this app to stop the following from happening?
    I placed a couple of orders on other sites (I think they use the Shopify platform) and the shop owner knew my FB profile (I don't use my real name). I don't ever link FB with anything and I even use a different email addr for my FB account. I don't know how my info is being 'shared'. Would this add-on stop this from happening? I'm already using a FB Disconnect add-on and it hasn't stopped it.

    No, this addon will not directly affect anything outside of FB. It is primarily designed to prevent FB from knowing what links and videos you interact with in your feed.

    In Facebook, I've this message when Facebook Tracking Removal 1.3.5 is activated "Video format or MIME type is not supported". TIA for a solution. Without this problem, 5 stars.

    I'm aware of the problem and its cause, but haven't had the time to work out a solution yet. You can fix the issue without removing the plugin by disabling the video setting in the options.

    In case you're interested, the issue has to do with Facebook recently starting to use blob URLs in certain videos.
