Firefox has a useful add-on that can improve privacy when using Facebook. This is the Facebook Container add-on. When it is installed, browsing habits and other social data outside of Facebook can’t be tracked. It does this by isolating user activities in a separate container.
Download it from here.
Once it is installed, it will first auto logout user from Facebook and delete it’s cookies. This is because it initializes a ‘Facebook sandbox’/container wherein activities in Facebook are limited to that only.
Whenever a Facebook link is opened or there is a login to Facebook, the tab will be blue colored to indicate it as a container tab.
Other than that, web pages which have Facebook comments enabled and likes button may not work because it will stop user data from being sent to Facebook. It is a useful feature as user activities outside Facebook can’t be tracked due to this.
Overall,this add-on strikes a balance when it comes to controlling privacy and maintaining social media presence. Instead of completely deleting Facebook account, controlling what is tracked by is made possible by this container add-on.
Happy surfing.
