Why do I have Facebook ads all over the place and she doesn't?

[Sydney Bowman]

I'm on Facebook on my computer and my friend is on hers. I complained to her about there being ads all over my Facebook pages and stuff. She told me that she doesn't have any on hers. I went over her house and on her laptop and on her computer, she doesn't have any ads ever. Why do I have ads and she doesn't? Also, how the heck do I get rid of them?

I know many people get frustrated by some of the ads on Facebook, as well as other sites. Fortunately, there is a way to get rid of them. I haven't seen an ad on Facebook or any other site for months. Here's the steps for getting rid of the ads:

If you are already using Mozilla Firefox, skip to step 2.

1. Download and install Mozilla Firefox. It's a web browser similar to Internet Explorer, exce...pt it's much more secure than IE, its quicker, and its more stable. There are also many free extension to choose from to add features to it, including the one that's going to get rid of ads. You can get Firefox here: mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

Once you start to install it, it will even import all your bookmarks and stuff from Internet Explorer, so you won't lose your stuff.

2. Once you've got it running, go to addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1…
Once you're there, click the big green button that says "Add to Firefox." It will download and add itself to Firefox, then you will have to restart Firefox.

3. Once Firefox restarts, it will give you a filter list to choose from. Choose the one called "EasyList (USA)". Ads should now be gone pretty much everywhere.
