Facebook ads and ad-blocking tools have been in a constant clash for years. But it looks like uBlock Origin is stepping away from that fight.

    I found a trick to block Facebook ads without an extension…

      Assuming that there isn’t a better extension out there for people to switch to, this move might push some people into quitting Facebook completely.

      If you’re using uBlock origin, then you won’t see ads anywhere else. Meanwhile on Facebook, every few posts will be an ad.

        For a hosts file, shouldn’t that be 0.0.0.0?
