Have you ever looked at what exactly those facebook login buttons load? I don't feel safe browsing sites with facebook integration anymore unless I'm running uMatrix or am in a container.

Ugh it is actually outrageous. On client sites, I use an icon and an anchor tag with noopener/noreferrer.

One client really wanted Facebook login so I had to make a Facebook account. That was a dark day.

On a somewhat related note, that business is no longer operating. I still host their site for free, partly out of smugness as they took none of my advice.

Does uBlock stop Facebook tracking? Or is there such a thing as Faceblock?

uMatrix plus the firefox facebook container plugin goes a long way...

Facebook container! I didn't even know that existed. Thanks!
