How Facebook Avoids Ad Blockers

And what do you do with the 100.000.000 websites using Facebook logins, SDK, like button etc.? I think you need to go a bit further than just not using it. You need to block the entire IP range and DNS to completely block them.

There are filter lists for ad blockers that can block Facebook's third-party web requests.

All of these work with uBlock Origin.

Thanks, I usually use PiHole with the lists merged into one and just block it at the DNS level.
