Now It Looks Like Facebook Is Fighting Ad Blockers – Galaxycow

I tend to use Facebook on a web browser so I can use ad blockers to control the experience. Yeah, I know… but Facebook is how I stay in touch with extended family.

Anyway, I noticed this afternoon that Facebook seems to have taken a page from Youtube’s playbook and start messing with ad blockers. I’m using Arc with uBlock Origin and as you can see from the screen recording below, Facebook is trying really hard to circumvent the blocks.

A friend of mine reports that he noticed this behavior last evening. I wasn’t using the web last night so I did not see this until today.
