  They're advertising on this sub? They can go fuck themselves. I've got ad-blocking enabled (and mods can't see ads on their own subs anyway) so I had no idea. I super recommend ublock origin for ad and content blocking. Source: almost 2 years ago

  No, it does not. It's open source and non profit. If you want you could make your own adblock with it's source code. https://github.com/gorhill/ublock. Source: over 2 years ago

• cURL to add native JSON support

  Firefox has its own "Enhanced Tracking Protection", Which is eclipsed by pretty much any specialized content blocker (such as uBlock Origin). Anyone who cares for that stuff has probably turned it off And installed a better extension for that, And for people who don't, well, it's completely unnecessary. Source: over 2 years ago

• Facebook Extension for Blocking Suggested Feeds and Ad Blocking

  Social Fixer, I have used it for years. Until I started using the FB mobile app I didn't know what it was like to see a feed full of ads. I saw a few but they were rare.

  The Social Fixer extension should be able to filter most of those. Source: about 1 year ago

• "Introducing cross-app messaging" popup notice won't go away

• Social Media Is Dead: What we call social media networks are anything but. Now that they're beginning to unravel, we should ask what it would take to create social media for people, not advertisers.

  Along the same lines is Social Fixer. Mostly the same features, although they tend to fix the sponsored post visibility quicker if you keep the filters updated and properly prioritized (rarely requires effort): Https://socialfixer.com/. Source: over 1 year ago
