I use a browser extension called F.B. Purity. It's worked across multiple browsers for years.

There's a concern that the developer of FB-purity passed away: https://www.reddit.com/r/facebook/comments/1tw2sf9/real_conc...


Oh dear. Hope he's ok. I got a lot of value out of FB-purity.


I was gonna say that uBlock still works for me on facebook, but yea I forgot I had purity quietly working for me for all those years


Same. FBP has been effectively perfect for over a decade now. I don't understand how uBlock Origin can't just take what FBP is doing and apply it there.


You don't understand that the problem is not about the solutions. Every issue has solution.

The problem is every time a solution is added to uBO, they will counter that. An extension will work great if the websites don't target on that.

I've read this story before but it's worth a repeat.

Yep, that happened to me too. The biggest joke was that LinkedIn forced me to create a password before I could delete the profile they'd created without my permission. This happened after I'd visited several LinkedIn links on my Pixel phone so they grabbed my Google email address and used that. Bear in mind also that I'd been retired for about six years at that point.


Exactly the same - took way more work to delete the thing.


"Great people are sometimes oddly-shaped"

Great people are racehorses, not donkeys. And racehorses tend be skittish. But they win races for you.


We used to do this in the software documentation team I worked with for 9 years: we would discuss something verbally, then the person who'd called the discussion would summarise the conclusions in an email to team members. They could then edit the summary as needed. It really helped further down the line as a communal memory device.
