From xcancel:

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

uBlock Origin offers some AdGuard rule sets, so I don’t know exactly what this means for existing uBO users.

      Website seems kinda sus (via Reddit)

      My experience with StackSocial is mixed. Yes, I did buy MS Office Professional 2021 from them, and successfully downloaded the software, and the product key worked for me. The software functions as expected. However, I started getting massive amounts of spam, mostly from east European countries, in my inbox. I had to block the spam country codes on my email provider’s webpage (Yahoo) and route the email from Stack Social, which they send out multiple times per day, to my Junk folder automatically. It took a while to get rid of most of the spam. I still get an odd one here and there after 2 years.

      I’d take the deal if I knew it was basically a donation towards whoever’s maintaining the filters, I’m just not sure about where that cash is going.

      And in a case like this I’d want to use a disposable email address and disposable card for the actual purchase. Which I have (hooray) but most people may not
