Facebook Rolls Out Code To Nullify Adblock Plus' Workaround
- TechCrunch, Friday, August 12, 2016 8:27 AM
TechCrunch reports that "Adblock Plus launched a workaround to Facebook’s ad block bypass that ham-handedly removes posts from friends and Pages, not just ads." But Facebook is battling back. TechCrunch reported a source close to Facebook says the company will push an update to its site’s code that will nullify the workaround. "Apparently it took two days for Adblock Plus to come up with the workaround, and only a fraction of that time for Facebook to disable it," the TechCrunch report said.
