After seeing the back and forth between Ad Block Plus and Facebook over their news feed ads, I decided to take a few minutes and just make my own extension to deal with it. I figured others might want this as well, so here it is. It looks for the link that says "Sponsored," finds the parent element, and removes it. Recommended links are also removed shortly after they appear. Enjoy!
Note: This doesn't remove all adds on Facebook - just the ones that ad blockers seem to have issues with.
Update 1.1.2
Facebook make some class changes to sponsored posts. Detection adjusted accordingly.
Update 1.1.1
AdBlock seems to be failing with the sidebar ads now, as well. I've added those to this extension.
Update 1.1.0
Recommended Links that appear after clicking an external link or watching a video are now removed shortly after appearing.
Update 1.0.1
Ads are now removed prior to becoming visible on screen.

We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others.
