Does anyone know of a fix for "Suggested for you" pages in FB feed? I used a very clean feed with just posts from my friends and all ads blocked but for some reason none of the lists used by uBlock Origin is able to block the new code for "Suggested for you". Any ideas?

EDIT: This is also a call for you, ex-Facebook engineers who once wanted to make the world a better place. You can help now to deobfuscate this code and make this trash disappear.

Seems like a waste of effort. Enjoy the adds so that you don't forget it is spyware.

Making the use of malicious platforms better for devs is counter productive to the obvious goal of not having our friends and family use it at all, so we don't have to either.

FB Purity is a dedicated extension for that: https://www.fbpurity.com/

I know of a fix, but you will not like it.

I wonder how many people are actually running Microsoft Edge by choice rather that as a result if Microsoft’s aggressive attempts to force it on them.

On my corporate laptop, I only have Edge and Chrome installed, and I run Edge by choice. I like the horizontal (I meant vertical!) tabs. At home it's Firefox. I guess I mostly just don't want to use Chrome :D

I run it, I like some of the integrations. I don't really see a reason to use chrome (or firefox, which I stopped using this year due to stability)
