5 Steps to Get Rid of Facebook Tracking You

In the context of the crises and problems facing Facebook due to privacy and security problems for users, and they sell user data to advertising companies, so we shared with you an important topic, which is how to protect your data on Facebook? And because this matter was the subject of the talk of many institutions and governments, the privacy policy was updated, and for this reason, also, we shared with you a topic about why all sites are now updating their privacy policy? And because I still have a lot of users' doubts about this, and that Facebook tracks your activities, we will share with you today's topic about how to get rid of Facebook tracking you while using it.

1- Stay away from the official app

One of the first tips that I will mention to you is to stay away from using Facebook through the mobile application. Facebook is for you while you give it a lot of permissions the first time you install the application on your phones, such as camera, contacts, microphone, location, and many other permissions, so it is better to stay away from using the official application and use Facebook only through the browser.

2- Use browsers that provide security

Certainly, there are many browsers that provide great levels of protection while you are using them in order to keep your browsing safe and hidden without recording any cookies on the browser, and we will mention examples of these browsers later, but let us tell you the reason, the matter is simply that there are some browsers that provide inside some tools or the features that give you great degrees of protection.

 These tools are such as the tracking blocker, which will, in turn, prevent Facebook while you are using it from tracking your browsing and activities that you do and thus exploits that data later in many forms, whether in advertisements, or suggestions that appear to you on Facebook.

3- Use the Firefox Firefox browser

In fact, this is a personal choice, because, through my experience with many browsers that we share with you, Firefox was one of the browsers that I still use on my phone, but it has become my default browser because it offers many features that are really worth trying, and one of those features related to this site it provides 5 tracking blockers inside it such as ad analysis blockers to show you similar ads, content blockers, blockers to analyze the sites you visit, social trackers that Facebook uses and depends on, and also these blockers are automatically activated once you start using the browser.

4- Install the AdBlock or AdBlock Plus add-on

One of the security research carried out by some information security specialists, that installing ad-blocking add-ons such as AdBlock or AdBlock Plus on the browsers you use, will help you reduce or prevent Facebook from tracking you while using it, and the site will most likely not be able to track the sites that you visit them, so one of the most important steps that you must take after installing the browser on your computer is to install one of these ad-blocking extensions to get rid of Facebook tracking you, and also get rid of annoying ads on some sites.

5- Install the Facebook Container extension

This is also one of the browser add-ons, but it is only intended for users of the Firefox browser for computers, and it is only intended to protect your data and privacy while using Facebook, and if you are a Firefox user, you must install it immediately.
