At this point, I have a very simple policy: the ad blocker stays on. To me, the headline is equivalent to "Facebook decided to start breaking their website"

I stopped Facebook 2 years ago. I hate people less. Facebook is cancer .

Same. I sometimes miss some form of connection, and the fact that Facebook exists makes it so much harder for a non-genocide-facilitating / politics-manipulating alternative to replace it.

Ah so it's not just me. I noticed it either last night or this morning and had a feeling that it was because of uBlock. Oh well, that tiny glitch is still a hell of a lot better than having to use that site without it!

They want to get rid of ad blockers? They should base on the same model that keeps me away: namely, that Facebook is repulsive and useless.

Following after google, like how other streaming services have followed after netflix on password sharing.

regular adblockers on facebook haven't worked well, or at all, for a long time.

fbpurity is still a thing, though.
