Ah, that's not a browser delay. That's an internet speed issue. I'll have to add more resilience to account for that. Thanks!
yeah, clicking into an advertiser has a ~5 second delay to /api/graphql/ at the moment. I was working on resiliency myself
Okay, I'll see what I can do to wait for NETWORK_IDLE or something

Even if you stay logged out, your data is collected from your mobile devices. And even if you brick your devices and pull the battery, your data is collected by other people's mobile devices. It all runs to data brokers in the end, and that data has a reliance on Facebook for additional refinement. This technique impacts that refinement step.

Cool script. My hack is to live in a country where the local language is not my own, and not the one I have set in my Facebook settings. As a result, Facebook rarely has advertisements that can target me, because my language has been filtered out by the advertisers. When one does appear, it’s nearly always in the local language, so I’m kind of deaf to it and I’m not going to actively respond to anyway. Luckily they h…
My hack is to live in a country that forces Facebook to give me an opt-out, and then I click "no" when Facebook asks.
