I've uninstalled the facebook android app and switched to a chrome shortcut. Works just as well and even gets notifications. Not to mention the better battery life.
- soylentcola 11y agoWhen I got my most recent phone I declined to install the app and it's definitely noticeable. Even though I had app notifications off (I just get an email if someone directly messages or tags me) it liked to run in the background all the time and additionally, I got tired of it constantly trying to push secondary apps for messaging and such. Currently I use "Tinfoil" which is essentially just a wrapper for the mobile site with a bit of sandboxing and tweaking. Not perfect but then again, I prefer it to a constantly running, resource hogging, frequently nagging app when all I want is to occasionally look at Facebook and see what friends and family have posted.
