There has been no release of FBP since January 2026, and Fernandez has not made any public statement as to whether he is continuing to develop FBP. Many Facebook features it previously blocked, such as intrusive ads, are no longer blocked.

Currently I am trying Nora as an alternative, per a Lemmy recommendation:

But honestly, I do not use Facebook, so I can't speak to how well it works there.
