[Logethica]

IF YOU ARE USING ADGUARD "DESKTOP" RATHER THAN THE EXTENSION THEN PLEASE VOTE "I USE AN ADBLOCKER NOT INCLUDED ON THIS LIST"

The Poll Is to gauge which "Adblocking" Extensions are the most popular on MalwareTips, And also to share experiences/opinions in the comments section pertaining to which of these blockers are still successful at blocking ads on Facebook...
Whether you be an Adguard or uBlock Origin Fan.... Pro or Anti the use of Adblockers....
Regardless of whether you wish to have your say on Adblocking Extensions..Filter Lists..Acceptable Ads..
...Issues regarding the Ethics of Adblocking ,..
..Or the possible failure of sites to police their Ads...
All comments are greatly appreciated.

As you are all aware,there are countless AdBlocking Extensions available....
and there is also a great deal of overlap with AdBlockers, Pop-Up Blockers, Pop-Under Blockers, Anti-Trackers, Script-Blockers and more...
I have selected 8 Extensions that I felt would be the most popular,as well as the most applicable to AdBlocking

Using uBlock Origin on Google Chrome, and it seems to still keep ads away from Facebook.

µBlock Origin

uBlock Origin on Chrome and custom Hosts file via Hostsman

I'm using Adguard Desktop but now I see a lot of suggested posts on Facebook.

Just Update your filters and restart your browser, they should vanish.

I'll try that.

uBlock Origin with default filters.

@_CyberGhosT_ Updated filters, cleaned out Chrome restarted machine, logged back into Facebook and still, I see suggested posts. Not a problem though, at least it isn't mega obtrusive and I'm sure a fix will be out soon. I cannot wait to see how this game of cat and mouse between Facebook and Adblock Plus goes.

I've never seen this before? https://facebook.adblockplus.me/

 

[SpartacusSystem]

What do you reckon people? Is it worth trying out? Anybody tried this? What are your experiences?

Edit: Waste of time...

Haven't had any problems with that at all, no ads, no suggested posts, just normal stuff
Using uBlock Origin and Ghostery... they both seem to do the job together

@ElectricSheep, Yeah very weird indeed.

These are the filters I have active:

This is the typical suggested post I see, they're quite repetitive too.

Not getting many of those. I've set my Ghostery to block all trackers, so all the crud doesn't follow me around.

EDIT: I get them on my phone, but not on PC. They appear to have removed the trackers also...

Hmmm, I'll try Fanboy's Anti-Facebook list and if I still see them after that then I'll just have to wait.

UPDATE: Fanboy's Anti-Facebook list doesn't seem to make a difference neither. Oh well. Hopefully there will be a work around soon.

UPDATE(2): Seems like it's getting worse by the minute! Suggested game? Come on; give us a break!

My vote goes to Ublock Origin because of effectiveness filters on blocking the advertisement and save a lot of possible malicious pop-ups.

Ublock Origin blocks more filters that are internal compare on others and I've never experience browsing issues where some elements show missing in the website.

It's interesting, I didn't heard about uBlick origin, but everypne here uses it =) I should try it, maybe there is really the big difference between it and AdBlockPlus.
