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.

After years of going back and forth with the social media network, uBlock Origin has decided to stop blocking Facebook ads entirely. This comes from the uBlockOrigin subreddit, where a member of the development team shared that the tool won’t be filtering Facebook ads anymore, citing the platform’s continuous circumvention of ad-blocking filters as the main reason. Developers of the popular, but increasingly hampered ad-blocking tool simply chose to stop keeping up with Facebook’s changes.

"We won't support Facebook any more. It's a disgusting anti-user site. All it does is watching open-source projects doing everything in public and counter them to deliver the malicious ads. Yep, the devs that receive 7-figure dollar salary is just doing this," said a uBlock Origin developer in the Reddit post.
