    I stopped using Facebook years and years ago when adblockers failed to stop FB ads. I have yet to find one that actually works.

    When I took a look to see if it had improved, the feed wasn’t even chronological. I get posts from days ago on top and posts from hours ago buried pages in. The posts at the top of the feed are even ones I’ve seen before. FB has become entirely useless and only bother for the few groups that insist on using it.

      traditional rules-based blockers like ublock origin fail because facebook randomizes tags and code on their pages specifically to prevent them from working well, or even at all.

      fbpurity.com is designed for facebook.

      Ads don’t particularly bother me but they do get tiresome when every other post is an ad. I don’t use FB though. YouTube ads are getting increasingly irritating - it seems that every two minutes during a video there will be an ad break, but I refuse to pay for a subscription for the small amount I use YouTube. I think there are some alternative interfaces which stop the ads but I keep forgetting to use/try them.

        Try YouTube Revanced (requires modding APK) or LibreTube (available on F-Droid) if you’re on Android. Go with SmartTube on Android TV. Just use Firefox + uBlock Origin if watching YouTube on a computer.
