The AI wrote the browser add-on that hides Facebook ads for me

Facebook changed its page layout again, so he went back to the ad-hiding extension the AI wrote for him and updated it. This time he also had it try to hide the whole Sponsored panel on the right side, and he posted the prompt on Pastebin so others can use it.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. Facebook changes its layout
  2. He updates the extension the AI made for him
  3. Adds hiding for the sidebar Sponsored panel
  4. Shares the prompt on Pastebin

Why it’s worth knowing

He does not throw the add-on away when Facebook breaks it. He goes back to the AI, gets it fixed, and shares the prompt so anyone can make their own.

A ready-to-use prompt for this idea, built from research on what makes AI agents do the job right: who the AI should be, the exact steps, and a check to make sure it was done the way you wanted.
