QuoteFacebook ads still slipping past Adblock Plus via stripped-down code (https://techcrunch.com/2016/09/18/faceblock/)
The Adblock Plus crowdsourced hacker militia can't keep up with Facebook's disciplined army of engineers.
When Facebook first announced it would circumvent ad blocking software, Adblock Plus (ABP) built a workaround in two days, boasting that "We promised that the open source community would have a solution very soon...This time that community seems to have gotten the better of even a giant like Facebook."
But it's been a month since Facebook broke ABP's last workaround, and the social network's marketing messages are still getting through. Despite the fact that ABP's browser extension gets the final say on what appears on your screen, it can't build filters fast enough when Facebook has total control over the code it serves.
Where's the hotspot for FB ad placement, center column?
There's the right column for most, but there are a few in the middle column. That UserScript you posted seems to demolish the right column. I haven't seen any center column ads yet using it.
I only read 2 small groups regularly, a 3rd on occasion. The largest has only 2500 members and all 3 groups share the same interest --an antique vehicle. I built a custom, gutted FB account. I now have a custom, gutted FB browser. I don't see jack while I'm there to read, but I think most of it is due to my spartan account setup. Truthfully, banner-blindness took care of the right column before I nuked it. I just did that because I like the game. The center column, though... They used to get me there.
