Or only use it in the Facebook App on your phone, but never log your browser in to it.
"Logging in" is completely broken on the internet - no argument, there.

- LoganCale 13y agoThe other two approaches may work, but > or specifically log out of Facebook when you're not using it will probably not, because they set tracking cookies that remain even when you log out. Complete speculation here, but if they're willing to do that, who's to say they don't link traffic from known IP addresses as well? It might be linked less strongly but in many cases could still be associated in some way. They track web browsing for non-users already anyway, so if they can connect that to existing users by IP I'd be fairly surprised if they didn't. In order to prevent this, you have to block trackers in all your browsers and devices with Ghostery or similar tools.
- Orva 13y agoBrowser user agent string alone is quite accurate identification [1]. Just add IP/country data on top of that..
- wutbrodo 13y agoWith the immaturity of the app permissions model and Facebook's abysmal record, I feel like you're far better off using a mobile browser (in incognito, of course) than the mobile app.
