I block sites on facebook all the time because while trying to read an article, there are more ads than content, and I get so frustrated because the ads are designed so that if I try to scroll, and the page shifts (and it will ALWAYS shift while scrolling) I end up clicking on something which takes me to a site I didn't want to go to and they get all kinds of false click revenue, and that pisses me off. I fight back the only way I know how. I block the advertiser AND the original presence.

I find that the browser combination of AdBlockPlus and uninstalling 
Flash does wonders. Of course, I also disabled third-party cookies and 
have HTTPSEverywhere and PrivacyBadger installed.
