Blocking Facebook?

[Mercdriver]

I never knowingly log into Facebook, I would rather poke my eyes out with rusty nail, but when I check cookies there they are albeit sitting at zero bytes. Too many scams etc and I just have no interest in having a Facebook page.

Get pissed off when restaurants use Facebook to show their menu

Is there a way I can block them permanently forever?

Don't go on sites that are mad for it is a start




Not a helpful answer I know. Probably not even accurate. It's been a slow afternoon.

Write yourself a browser extension that re-directs you to Tea and Kittens.

A Pi-Hole is a device which which sort of acts as a gateway on your network. Inbound traffic from the internet gets passed into the Pi-Hole before being distributed back to your router for broadcast within your network. The Pi-Hole can be configured to 'block' traffic from certain domains like mugfacettbook

Install AdGuard and set it up to block Facebook.com

Use duckduckgo as your browser, or install the duckduckgo extention on Firefox.

Facebook isn’t just facebook the website. Its got its tentacles across the whole web. Facebook, Amazon, Google track the hell out of everything, their cookies are downloaded on many different websites.

You want a privacy based browser like Brave or Duckduckgo, block the whole kit and caboodle.

Open yourself up to tracking if it will benefit you, by using a ‘fully featured’ browser like Chrome or Edge. I use Edge for internet shopping and cashback websites for example.

If you have a Eero router (talktalk) the app seems to be pretty good at blocking any thing you like.
