    I don’t know about facebook but uBlock Origin blocks ads on instagram web just fine.

      Doesn’t stop the tracking of you on the platform itself. They still scrape your personal photos, your messages, your location, the things you’ve watched, the things you engage with to determine who you are and what you’d like.

        Yeah, well not much I can do about that, except not use their services at all. Generally what ever I post online is meant for public consumption so have at it. It’s quite limited how much data they can gather when I’m not using their proprietary software and as long as I don’t need to watch those ads it’s fine. They’re going to scrape everything I post into Lemmy/Pixelfed aswell.
