Script to remove all ad preferences on facebook
- Log into Facebook on Google Chrome on a desktop
- Go to Settings - > Ads -> Ads Based on my preferences -> Manage preferences
- On the preferences page, expand all the categories. I was unable to automate this.
- Press F12 on a Windows or Cmd+Shift+I on a Mac
- This opens the developer console. On the top, you'll find a console tab. Click that
- You'll see a STOP warning from Facebook here. Ignore that, we are just automating what you'd otherwise have to do by clicking about 350 times
- Copy paste the code from the fbapr-min.js file into the console tab.
- Sit back and watch hundreds of ad categories being removed!
- Loads jQuery into the console
- Finds all "Show more" buttons and clicks them
- Waits a little while(15 secs) for all the categories to load
- Clicks the "X" button next to all the preferences
