What's stopping you from installing an ad-blocker like uBlock Origin? You can't help but notice them (no one really can), and it doesn't sound like they add value to your life.

Sounds like she's on mobile considering the ads

I am. But still get them running Facebook from Firefox with Ublock installed. I also get facebook ads on Firefox and Edge on Desktop. As an aside I switched to the mobile app recently considering the Ad Block on firefox wasn't working.

Be sure to use UBlock Origin, not UBlock.

Facebook is a pretty high profile website, so it is unlikely that UBlock Origin won't block all adds there (I don't use Facebook myself, so I can't verify). In a normal desktop browser that is.

Of course. Facebook is a serious cat & mouse with adblocking. I once tried to look at an ad with the devtools inspector and the ad the disappeared. Somehow FB was detecting the inspector and remove the ad so it couldn't be inspected. (Well I'm sure that could be used against them)

There is new-ish one that might work.

EDIT: No, now it's only the text that identifies it as "Sponsored" the rest of the ad does not disappear.

EDIT2: For an example here is how the word "Sponsored" is represented in the DOM:

  <span aria-labelledby="jsc_c_cm" aria-label="Sponsored" class="j1lvzwm4 stjgntxs ni8dbmo4 q9uorilb gpro0wi8"><span
        aria-label="Sponsored" aria-labelledby="jsc_c_cn"></span><span

> The ads are extremely disctracting: I can't help but notice them

Sadly this sounds like it's perfectly WAI.

> I also once got ads from Jordan Pertsons thing... WOW HOW WRONG CAN IT GET

I mean, what's wrong with that from a marketing perspective? He has a fair few female fans so the targeting can't be that wrong.

In some cases, targeted advertising is still quite dumb. Advertisers themselves choose who to target. In your example, someone may have said “We need more women interested in Jordan Peterson! Target white women 25-35.”
