The reason I go with Safari Content blockers and /etc/hosts is because both of those solutions stop network requests before they even attempt to make a network request. uBlock is a good backup solution, but I want my computer to think Facebook doesn't even exist as a url, regardless of context.

For example uBlock won't stop iMessage from trying to load Facebook's inline media content when someone messages me a Facebook link.

This appears to be broken.

This is also a great solution.
