I’ve always preferred to have Facebook without the adverts or sponsored posts, both on my laptop and on my Android phone.

Previously I’ve used the Brave browser (https://brave.com/) on my Android phone which removed adverts and sponsored posts well for a while but recently it has started to show them in Facebook again. It had also started to slow down and scroll jerkily when browsing the m.facebook.com site.

I tried several other Ad Blocking browsers (Opera, Firefox Focus, etc.) from the Google Play Store but none successfully blocked the Sponsored Posts.

On my laptop I use Chrome with the (highly recommended) Fluff Busting Purity extension (https://www.fbpurity.com/) installed to block the sponsored posts amongst other unwanted items.

Whilst Fluff Busting Purity isn’t officially available or supported on Android I found a web browser called Kiwi (https://kiwibrowser.com/) that will run desktop Chrome extensions on Android. Trying the desktop Fluff Busting Purity extension in Kiwi proved to work and blocked the sponsored posts!

So the solution:

• Install “Kiwi Browser” on your Android phone from the Play Store
• Open the app and click the 3 dot menu at the top
• Select “Extensions”
• Click “+ (from store)”
• Search for “Fluff Busting Purity”
• Click “Add to Chrome” (Which adds it to Kiwi!)

Then to complete things nicely – Navigate to m.facebook.com in the Kiwi Browser on your Android phone and hit the 3 dot menu, then select “Add to Home screen” to add an icon to your home screen that fires up Facebook in Kiwi Browser without adverts or sponsored posts!
