"Follow" suggestions #99

Closed generrosity closed 10 months ago

generrosity commented 1 year ago

Thank you for maintaining this plugin - it really is nice to have!

I've noticed a new type of FB pushing pages and adverts and annoyances.

These aren't tagged as "suggestions" but obviously they are suggestions of pages to "follow".

I understand this might be quite agressive setting for some people, but I get plenty of suggestion time while on mobile so I don't feel I am missing out at all on desktop!!

Here is a screenshot with the menu inside too, incase you can classify it as a different type.

Hey,

That seems like a reel, and is picked up but isn't functioning.... mmmm image

If you see this again, please could you post the html of the overarching div element?
The div that is literally a list item - usually we'd also have added react-elem or some class to this div as well

I think the "shared reels (all birds)" is unrelated to the new "follow" divs.

I have just replicated this tho - and again its "all birds" that triggers it specifically. It doesn't look to be multiple reels in a row etc.

HTML of the parent element is thus: <div class="x1lliihq redact-elem redact-elemid-8dbc1e36-0c54-43d0-bdb0-bf5256e12f2d can-show redact-elem-reels">

For the full HTML, see https://justpaste.it/20vu4

...

If you do have time to check out the 'follow' suggestion a bit more, I can only hope that you can detect the link. Or - potentially - that the second and third element exists just there

Here is the HTML for a "follow" example: https://justpaste.it/deeyl

^ accidental button press, sorry for any extra emails.

For note, AllBirds is a brand I have purchased from but not interacted in Facebook 🤷‍♂️

Obviously if I can help any let me know.

Thanks for the work.
Seems there is an elem being hidden which is the main cause for this ... mmmmmm

Question, by any chance, are you using uBlock Origin?
