Remove facebook sponsored posts

removeSponsored.js

// I find the inline sponsored posts on fb really annoying, and the ad-blockers don't seem to be able to keep 
// up these days, so I wrote a script that takes a different approach. This js just needs to be run somewhere on the page

// Note that this javascript is written in modern ES2015, so you might need to change some of it in an older browser

function isSmall(el, minWidth, minHeight) {
    const bbox = el.getBoundingClientRect();
    return bbox.width < minWidth || bbox.height < minHeight;
}

function removeSponsoredPosts(text="Sponsored", minWidth=200, minHeight=200) {
    const sponsored = Array.from(document.getElementsByTagName('a'))
        .filter(el => el.textContent === text)
    sponsored.forEach(el => {
        while (isSmall(el, minWidth, minHeight)) {
            el = el.parentNode;
        }
        console.log("removing", el)
        el.parentNode.removeChild(el)
    })
