I use 2 very simple adblock plus rules that deactivate all of facebook outside of the facebook website. Simple and straightforward and works fine for me.
It might not be enough, though :D
Something like, for FireFox, IIRC:
||facebook.*$domain=~facebook.com|~127.0.0.1
||fbcdn.net/*$domain=~facebook.com
And for Chrome, I think it would become:
*.facebook.*$domain=~facebook.com|~127.0.0.1
Edit: adding the rules
- jnorthrop 15y agoWould you mind sharing that rule?

- mike-cardwell 15y agoIf you're a Firefox user and you'd rather whitelist known good actors, than blacklist known bad actors, as per this example. Install the RequestPolicy addon.
- slowpoke 15y agoI got pointed to this addon in a past discussion about FB here on HN and I can fully support this recommendation.
- sagarun 15y agoI guess EasyPrivacy one of the in built filter in ad-block plus already does that. Correct me if i am wrong.
- jbk 15y agoI thought that, but with EasyPrivacy, I still have the facebook comments on TC, but not with that rule. Maybe I did something wrong...
- buro9 15y agoEasyPrivacy rules can be seen here: https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easyprivacy.txt https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easyprivacy.txt Search that for 'face' and you'll find only 4 rules that would apply, and those are about removing pixel trackers whilst leaving content intact. The rules above remove content, which is just as well as anything a pixel tracker can do content could do. Which is where the current paranoia level seems to be.
- fl3tch 15y agoThere's also the Antisocial filter, which removes social widgets. https://adversity.googlecode.com/hg/Antisocial.txt https://adversity.googlecode.com/hg/Antisocial.txt It has many filters for Facebook, and I can clearly see, for example, the one for Facebook Connect.
