Facebook ads are so hard to block that uBlock Origin stopped filtering them

I thought of a possible solution. The close to 7 figure engineers are probably vibe-coding and automating their scrambling algos already. uBO, or someone else, just needs to set up a pipeline with agentic AI analyzing the current block-blocking method to unscramble it. Release daily builds. Could be a site specific addon too, doesn’t have to be a general adblock addon.
Fight AI with AI.
Or; dont block anything and wait for people to stop using meta products altogether :)

I’m stuck using fucking facebook, messenger and whatsapp. Facebook and messenger are where all the non-techie people in my kids’ sports communicate, and I’ve got some dear people far away that uses whatsapp.
I had deleted my account back before it was called meta, but had to get a new one. Fuck me if I’m going to install their app though.
If we could wean people off of meta it’d be great.
