uBlock Origin has announced it will stop attempting to block Facebook ads, citing the extreme difficulty and constant cat-and-mouse game with Meta's anti-adblock measures. The decision reflects growing frustration among maintainers over the unsustainable resource drain of fighting Facebook's increasingly aggressive ad-blocking countermeasures.
Background
Meta/Facebook has been actively fighting ad blockers with ever-evolving detection and anti-adblock techniques, making effective filtering increasingly difficult for tools like uBlock Origin.
