uBlock Origin Stops Trying to Block Facebook Ads
uBlock Origin Is Giving Up the Fight to Keep Ads Off Facebook
uBlock Origin, the popular ad blocker, has announced it will no longer attempt to block ads on Facebook. The decision comes after years of an ongoing battle, as Facebook continuously changes its ad delivery methods to evade blockers. The developer cites the disproportionate effort required to keep up with Facebook's countermeasures, making it an unsustainable fight. Users on Facebook will now have to rely on other means to avoid ads, or simply accept them.
We've decided to stop chasing Facebook's ever-changing ad-serving techniques; it's a battle we can no longer win.
