Presumably if you've cleared your cookies and you use an adblocker, their ability to reliably track your activity goes way, WAY down.
In addition to the standard protections of the adblocker and privacybadger, I also generally set a full block on all content from facebook[.com/.net] and any identifiable facebook subdomains. I really have no use for facebook, so it is zero imposition on me, and if I ever want to view something on facebook, I can open up a new private window in an alternate browser as a one-off (or, if I'm feeling paranoid, spin up a VM).
- lisper 10y agoAll of those precautions are orthogonal to deleting your FB account. You can do all of those things without deleting your account (only log in using an incognito window). Deleting your account may or may not change anything with regards to FB's collection of information about you. There is simply no way to know because it is entirely up to FB what the semantics of deleting your account actually are.
- dade_ 10y agoYeah, that reminded me to clear my cookies again. Of course Facebook is there again. Even if they are somehow still building their dossier on me, at least I am not wasting my life on a site built for, I quote "Dumb F*ucks" - Zuck.
