Hot Take uBO filter list for Facebook

[Parkinsond]

The team behind uAssets, the filter lists used by uBlock Origin, says it will stop fixing ad-blocking issues on Facebook. They say Facebook keeps finding ways around new fixes, making the work increasingly difficult to sustain.

This won’t affect AdGuard’s Facebook filters. We maintain our own rules and will continue updating them.

There’s nothing to celebrate here. It shows how hard it is for small, often volunteer-run teams to keep up with tech giants — and how important their work is for everyone who wants more control over what they see online

I think the source is the AdGuard account on X.

Was there a previous MalwareTips thread mentioning the news that uBlock Origin won't support Facebook anymore?
If so, I must have overlooked it.

Regarding the use of AdGuard lists to try to combat Facebook ads, I noticed this thread:

Just a note that AG is using trusted filters for facebook as well.
And:
I mean they are using raw JS filters, which are not supported in uBO either. Those filters are basically like userscripts now.

Oh. That sucks for our users then.
