Facebook Hack: Purge list of "Advertisers you've interacted with"

purge_advertisers.md

For those of you who want to remove all in “Advertisers you’ve interacted with”:

1. Go to https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen and open the section "Advertisers you've interacted with"
2. Open Web Inspector
3. Copy-paste this script to load all advertisers: smt=setInterval(() => {let x=document.querySelector('div[shade=medium]'); x ? x.click() : clearInterval(smt), console.log('done')}, 1000)
4. It will output a number. Wait for it to say “done” in the console. This may take a long time. you'll notice the scrollbar changing while it's loading all advertisers.
5. Copy-paste this and press enter: document.querySelectorAll('[data-tooltip-content="Hide all ads from this advertiser"]').forEach(el => el.click()). Note Facebook has changed the text on the button a few times, so if this has no effect, you may need to edit the command. Hover over the "x" icon on any advertiser until a pop-up tooltip appears. Make the double-quoted text in this command match the tooltip text. For example this text used to read "Hide ads from this advertiser", and before that it read simply "Remove".
6. Wait for advertisers to turn grey, indicating they've been removed (this may take a while as well)

That's it.

As of today it looks like the page has changed slightly. Step 5 should now read document.querySelectorAll('[data-tooltip-content="Hide ads from this advertiser"]').forEach(el => el.click()).

Update, Facebook has apparently removed the ability to block advertisers, so this doesn't work any more.
