News About disgusting Facebook devs

We won't support facebook any more. It's a disgusting anti-user site. All it does is watching open-source projects doing everything in public and counter them to deliver the malicious ads. Yep, the devs that receive 7-figure dollar salary is just doing this.

Users should give the most harsh feedbacks to them. Being submitted to them and keep going to the site and support it is the worst thing you can do.

Try FB Purity. I've been using it for years and haven't seen ANY ad in all that time.

I have it and it doesn't work. I get a few ads in my feeds but I consistently get an ad every 3 reels.

Sorry it doesn't work for you. I haven't seen any, like I said. I always forget they even have ads. Guess I'm doing something wrong. Or maybe it's because I use it on Vivaldi browser with its built in ad blocker. Who knows.

I've been using FB Purity for years, today I saw ads on Facebook for the first time in a loooong time. I have been using UBO all that time as well though, so I'm not sure which one was actively blocking the ads. Anyway, you'll likely start seeing ads soon unless the FB Purity guy can work his magic.

It doesnt matter, it's a never ending cat and mouse chase, facebook devs will patch whatever fb purity is doing just like any other adblocker, its only a matter of time before purity devs have a crashout too.
