Facebook ads are so hard to block that uBlock Origin stopped filtering them (www.neowin.net)

For Instagram there’s Imginn and you can set automatic redirect with an extension. Instagram is a much less complex as a website though.

Facebook is a behemoth of various functionality they accumulated over the years. This complexity is probably what allows them to obfuscate so much of it. Reddit is kind of screwed as long as old.reddit.com exists. If I had to guess Meta treats it as a competitive advantage or „a moat”.
