Replace Facebook Ads With Vintage 1980s Ads

I’m just as tired of looking at bad Facebook ads as you are. But instead of running a standard ad blocker, I’m replacing the ads with something more interesting. In particular, vintage ads from the 80s. Radical.

Social Ads, Vintage Edition is a Google Chrome extension that replaces persistent Facebook ads with nostalgic photos of everything you love, now with a retro look. Think Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Casio synthesizers and Coleco arcade cabinets – all of which replace that traditional boring ad.

Browsing my Facebook feed, I’d rather see an ad for the Nintendo Power Glove, the holy grail of video game accessories, than a discount on some MP3 player I once searched on Google.
