uBlock Origin makes the ads go away pretty well. I'm also open to paying.

Does uBlock Origin actually have any effect on ads or sponsored posts in Facebook?

I run ABP and there are still ads all over the place in Facebook. I've taken to reporting every ad I see in my Timeline as spam.

Fluff Busting Purity (formerly Facebook Purity). Nukes everything; maintainer is hugely on the ball, rolling out fixes for FB's breaking bugs within hours (and occasionally within minutes). If it's not in your browser's extensions/addons "store", you can find it at https://www.fbpurity.com/

Ive heard but can't confirm that ABP sells the ability for ad servers to be white listed. Ublock + enabling various lists is better. Check out Umatrix.
