Comment on: uBlock Origin Is Giving Up the Fight to Keep Ads Off Facebook

I've tried to write a tampermonkey script to at least block the Reels, but even that's hella difficult.The solution is truly to just never be on Facebook, but - our local PTA only distributes news via Facebook. (There may be a Whatsapp group I don't know about, which isn't better.) So does the local library. If the township publishes things elsewhere, I don't know about it.I use a service to convert some pages' feeds to RSS, which is semi-reliable, but doesn't work well and is a paid service if you want more than two feeds - I wish I could hand-roll something myself.
