so this kind of stuff (the images/animations/article titles within the blue area) appears on my fb page instead of some "suggested video", it also appeared once on ugbase and in different fb areas (where the ads/recommended pages are). Does anyone have idea how can I get rid of it? Anyone had similar problem?

I uninstalled chrome and went back to using mozilla, btw after uninstalling it avast notified me that there are 28 chrome files that were not deleted and some are in the extensions folder with some weird names (just like the "<div class" names in the source above), idk if these are standard files or they were the source of the problem though

Some nasty adware is doing that. Get an adware/malware removal tool and get rid of it asap.

First let https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/ do it's job.
After that check all your shortcuts to your browser(s) (some adwares add launch parameters which may re-install the adware).

If you still didn't fix this, try look at the msconfig > Startup, cuz some dumb programs may leave their path there, so you can at least get rid of it on startup, and then lookup at the paths and clear all shit there
Didn't remember last time my pc were infected by ad malware, but next time try to analyze which executable file you download and what that site contains at all  :D
Btw if this problems appear on certain browser, check its plugins most probably malwared plugin contains there

These weird names are ID's of plugins, you can track one of those plugins by simply typing in google "chrome %plugin_id%" so once you find suspicious plugin, just report it

UPD: ah f* my dumb ass, didn't see you already fixed problem, but anyway maybe someone will meet this problem and my message probably will help him :D

Monday i can relate to you, but my story with google chrome is diffrent 3 days ago whenever i open up google chrome and left click anywhere on the page my entire laptop screen would go back and once i'd click on the right side of the mouse the screen would be normal aigan. Still didn't figure out what it was it even happend after reinstalling but now im using Mozilla Firefox and shit.. if i knew mozilla was this much more organized i would've used it before.
