Is it possible to look at Facebook without all of the ads?
An ad from my news feed
The Facebook you see has no ads if you download AdFree (working name). This simple software solution to the ad load on facebook works the same as TiVo does on your TV. When you go to Facebook the AdFree app, operating in background, shows you your normal feed but it scrubs out the ads, the suggested posts and whatever else you don’t want cluttering up your pages.
A few smart programmer/entrepreneurs could build a MVP of this idea pretty fast. The outcome might be a quick sale to Facebook or it might be a protracted legal battle with lots of potentially profitable publicity.
