Facebook ads and ad-blocking tools have been in a constant clash for years. But it looks like uBlock Origin is stepping away from that fight.

    Fair. Better to focus on ads embedded everywhere else. Not much point trying to block the ads once you’re inside the ad store.

    Facebook’s business is ads not social interaction so that is where their efforts are channelled.

    If you still use Facebook you don’t deserve an ad free experience
