Expected the Facebook features will evolved in every beginning or the first day of new month, like it's happen to me that...

  • [2018/07/01] Facebook update stories features on mobile sites, even users didn't install their official apps (e.g. visit m.facebook.com or touch.facebook.com)
  • [2018/08/01] I've got block to access certain domains (e.g. mbasic.facebook.com, touch.facebook.com and then redirect to h.facebook.com without using HTTPS for this subdomain, then sent to mobile.facebook.com instead) because they falsely detect some ISP proxy as a mobile network, also any carrier that collaborate with Facebook to offer their Free Basics services will prevent access certain subdomains that I've mentioned above and force users to allow the Free Basics app to access your account in order to save data cost.
  • [2018/09/01] some users who use uBlock origin reported the sponsored posts is now re-appear again, I don't know about the change because I've focused the rules to use on mobile browser first (only Firefox for Android or any forks can install uBO), so I will looking for it if I found one.

facebook.com###substream_1:has([id^="feed_subtitle_"]:has-text(Sp))
facebook.com##[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has(a[href*="client_token"])
facebook.com##[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_]:has(a[href*="utm_campaign"])

This 3 rules block sponsored ads.

I think the first rules ###substream_1:has([id^="feed_subtitle_"]:has-text(Sp)) the has-text range is too wide (only just two letters?), is it should be Sponsored or not?

But the rules that use ##[id^=hyperfeed_story_id_] seems to be OK.

I will look for sub-parameters in the element tag fore more accurate hiding, e.g. data-sigil

@kowith337 I don't know to much about rules, but those works.
Ask @mapx- for the first rule.

With my equipped filter (FZK) still cannot see any ads, or because I'm using Facebook Purity along with uBO rules.

If I'm still not see ads, I will switch to another profile to test this out.
