Meta Plans to Charge $14 a Month for Ad-Free Instagram or Facebook::European users would have option to pay fee or agree to personalized ads, according to company’s pitch to regulators
Next they will target ad-blockers as reducing their income and trying to ban them using the shitty web drm stuff.
Their ads are natively served so ad blockers already are pretty useless for them already.
Facebook Purity completely removes all native ads and is updated each time after it breaks.
It also lets you change the font, size, if pictures load, remove shorts and people you may know, custom scripts, etc. It works for nearly every major browser.
I don’t use Facebook except to keep in touch with family, but FB Purity makes things… bearable.
Also, don’t judge the decade’s old style of the web page. The program is really over a decade old and been maintained this whole time.
This is why you start using dns level as blocking.
“Served up natively” skirts DNS blocking. To block FB ads, you need something that handles DOM-level blocking, like uBlock Origin. That said, FB is cancer and I recommend blocking the entire platform, not just the ads.
