How to block Facebook social widgets?

Post by qwertyuiop »

Hello,

None of the Adblock Plus filters have been able to block Facebook social plugins. Am I using them incorrectly, or is something broken? For example, at the bottom of vice.com, there is a comments section that integrates with Facebook. I'd like to hide this completely (and widgets like this, including the "Like" widgets I've seen on other sites).

Here are the filters I'm using: I'm using the latest version of ABP (2.4) on Firefox 25.0.1

THanks!

first:
remove the last list (already included in the annoyance list)

then:
add these:

Code: Select all

||facebook.com/plugins/*
||connect.facebook.com
||connect.facebook.net

Question, does this actually block the widgets from loading or are they still loaded but not rendered?
