Was scrolling through Facebook as I still use it to keep in touch with family. 20 sponsored posts for every one actual post. Facebook is terrible.

I just went on my annual visit. I'm not sure if it was ublock or what, but it was actually a fairly pleasant experience with no 'sponsored' content. Reminded me of the Facebook of old. Accessed through the browser, of course. I don't want that cancerous app on my phone.

I am on mobile. I'll try desktop!

I was on mobile too, just on Firefox with ublock.

I caught that after I replied. Firefox with ublock is now my default android browser. You're right..going into feed mode to see posts chronologically with ad block is the Facebook of old. Thanks for the tip.
