In the new interface, click Filters in the list on the left side of the screen.
Continue to look at the content on the right to find Filter Subcriptions and then click on the plus sign at Hide Sponsored Actions and Suggested Posts (Social Fixer> = 24.0) . Below we can also add a plus sign if we want to use the filter.
Immediately the Active Filters section displays a new filter. Click Save Changes to save the changes.
