Facebook commercials

Post by vastymedoisa »

Hi, since 1 hour I see sponsored commercials on the righthand side of FB home. What changed in a hour?
(easylist + italy)
thanks for suggestions.

PS: I already added Egocolumn hide, and all was perfect since one year until today:

facebook.com##.uiStreamAttachments ._4hh
facebook.com##.egoOrganicColumn

not enough :)

nothing is working.

I add all the suggested filters = I delete them : the same behaviour.
I see "zero accesses", there should be other filters, I hope.

the one and only filter with accesses is
facebook.com##.egoOrganicColumn

Well, so you are apokroton in easylist forum.

Did you install the beta ABP ?

On the main PC I prefer to stay with release instead of beta.
Is the issue caused by filters or by addon itself that must be upgraded?
From your reply I guess: a bug in the addon, right?

No bug, but simply legacy ABP (2.9.1) has not implemented the abp-contains / abp-has keywords => if you don't want to install beta ABP you cannot hide those annoyances / ads

The old 2.9.1 is outdated, the beta version should be installed (from FF 57 the old ABP wont be used anymore)

Some days before FF 57 landing (probably FF release date: 2017-11-14).
Just install the beta, way better.

Very unfortunately your suggestions not worked here, even with ADB latest build (3.0), therefore I am very worried.
I ask : is ADB really able to remove commercials (sponsored /news that may interest you/page that you linked - even if I not liked them) from FB ?
Its unuseful to continue testing filters hmmmm
