how to remove Facebook’s ad sidebar with a custom stylesheet

to remove the adbox on the home type page:

#pagelet_adbox{
display:none;
visibility:hidden;
}

to remove the big ad bar on a profile page:

.adcolumn_wrapper{
display:none;
visibility:hidden;
}

assuming you’re using Firefox, put this code into a file called userContent.css in your profile folder (if you’re using OSX it’ll probably be ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/profiles/[numbers].default/chrome/)
i would imagine this’ll work with other browsers, if they allow custom stylesheets. enjoy.

EDIT: just noticed another ad sidebar on the notifications page… here’s the code for that one too:

.UIStandardFrame_SidebarAds{
display:none;
visibility:hidden;
}
