The ads are not the main problem, the main problem is how the "personal ads" are chosen by harvesting and sharing all your private data.

A tracker blocker is a more suitable solution along with the ad blocker.

    correct, actually both together. dns blocking both trackers and ads will result in your profile never being harvested. It will still be there with limited info, whatever they have gathered from facebook scrolling, likes, chat and comments, but it will not be queried in order to show you ads.
