Ad Blocker for Facebook App (Video & Images) is a free extension designed for the Opera browser that removes image- and video-based sponsored posts and sponsored ads from the Facebook News Feed. The extension is intended for users who are concerned about the prevalence of sponsored content on Facebook and wish to minimize distractions or unwanted advertisements while browsing the platform.

The tool specifically targets image and video sponsored posts, which are described as a major source of Facebook’s revenue. Its stated purpose is to restore the ability to block these types of ads, which the developer claims are increasingly difficult to filter due to Facebook's ongoing efforts to circumvent ad blockers. The extension supports all languages, making it accessible to a global audience.

Installation requires the Opera browser, and the extension is distributed through the Opera add-ons marketplace. The developer explicitly states that there is no affiliation with Facebook, Inc. Permissions for the extension include access to user data on some websites, as is typical for browser extensions that modify web content.

In summary, Ad Blocker for Facebook App (Video & Images) is a browser extension for Opera users seeking to block sponsored video and image ads in their Facebook News Feed. Its focus is on enhancing the browsing experience by reducing exposure to specific types of sponsored content, with support for all languages and a free distribution model.
