Removes Ads and the user interaction tracking from content on Facebook™
NOTICE: Google is making it increasingly difficult to maintain and publish extensions in their webstore, and Facebook keeps trying to take the extension down, so I may stop updating in chrome at any time. I recommend using Firefox if you want continued support, and it's better for privacy in general.

Removes Ads and the user interaction tracking from content on Facebook™.
Modified elements can optionally have a custom CSS style applied to them so that cleaned items can be more easily identified.
For links, the event listeners on the link and its parents are removed and/or disabled and a proper href is set.
For videos on mobile, all Facebook™ event-listeners and custom controls are removed, and the video is simplified into just the bare HTML5 video tag.

Explanation of permissions:
- Access to facebook.com, messenger.com, and facebookwkhpilnemxj7asaniu7vnjjbiltxjqhye3mhbshg7kx5tfyd.onion is needed for main functionality, in order to work on those pages.
- Access to mgziminsky.gitlab.io, more specifically https://mgziminsky.gitlab.io/FacebookTrackingRemoval/*, is used to download blocking rules only
- `webNavigation`: Needed to handle cleaning FB interactions that use the browser history API instead of doing a normal page navigation
- Firefox: "Access browser activity during navigation"
- Chrome: "Read your browsing history"
- This is misleading. See https://github.com/mgziminsky/FacebookTrackingRemoval/issues/67#issuecomment-1346953059
Project is completely open source, so you are welcome, and encouraged, to check the code yourself before installing.
