Can this block the entirety of Facebook as well? Not just the tracking part.
Is there a reliable way to stop this browser tracking, apart from quitting Facebook?
is there a way to make a browser block any access to those like widget, or any other facebook access ?I haven't been or used on facebook for years now, and those tracking things weird me out
Because facebook doesn't want people using a browser that is hard to track.
If facebook can see this traffic, they would love it, not discourage it.
So only browse Facebook in an Incognito tab. Got it.
There's a lovely browser addon called 'Facebook Disconnect' than blocks all third-party calls to the Facebook API. Available in Chrome and Firefox, and probably others.
I suppose it would be even easier to make a script that blocks facebook from sending this information? Does it already exist?
If you never go to Facebook, Safari will prevent Facebook from building a profile across the sites you visit. For each parent site, Facebook will receive different cookies, which defeats their system.
Blocking facebook tracking, meaning comments/like buttons and the like has vastly improved my browsing experience.
