Could be connected with ABP's recent change? https://adblockplus.org/blog/consumers-again-declare-independence-from-relentless-facebook-ads

I added support in 1.14.11rc7 for :-abp-has() and :-abp-contains() now used by EasyList. Can you see if these ads are taken care of by that version of uBO + an up to date EasyList?

[terrorist96]

I prefer to stay on the stable build so I'll wait til you push out the next update. :)

He meant for you to install 1.14.11rc7, so you can test if the issue is fixed, after that you can remove
1.14.11rc7 and use the stable build.
I can't test, because I do not have a Facebook account.

[terrorist96]

Ok, I installed the test version and can confirm Facebook ads are blocked. Thanks!

You can use a portable version of a web browser or create 2nd profile for testing.

Will remove the added filters once 1.14.12 is out and widespread.

@smed79 In the comments of the ABP blogpost Ben mentions this

EasyList(s). As for update regularity, it’s now at 48 hours

Wasn't it always 48 hours?

Wasn't it always 48 hours?

The update interval up to the list maintainer.
I remember it was 4 days before but they have changed to 2 days probably because of those sites that use a revolving adservers.

e.g

• easylist/easylist@298aaaf
• easylist/easylist@b0b9580
