(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865) to prevent other sites from accessing Facebook in any way (e.g., fetching personal data, installing FB apps, running FB-supplied Javascript, etc.) by creating the following four Adblock Plus filters:</p><p>||facebook.com/*$domain=~facebook.com|~facebook.net|~fbcdn.com|~fbcdn.net<br />||facebook.net/*$domain=~facebook.com|~facebook.net|~fbcdn.com|~fbcdn.net<br />||fbcdn.com/*$domain=~facebook.com|~facebook.net|~fbcdn.com|~fbcdn.net<br />||fbcdn.net/*$domain=~facebook.com|~facebook.net|~fbcdn.com|~fbcdn.net</p><p>The above filters tell Firefox never to allow any site other than Facebook's four sites (facebook.com, facebook.net, fbcdn.com, and fbcdn.net) to access Facebook. Thus, Facebook continues to work perfectly, but other sites don't get to talk to Facebook at all.</p><p>You still need to set your FB privacy settings for purely internal-to-FB privacy, but no future (secret) agreement between FB and some random Web site can expose your FB data to that site.<br />----</p><p>Hopefully those of you who actually use Facebook can get some use of this.

For example, I use Firefox for everyday browsing - what if I installed Chrome as essentially a Facebook privacy condom? And I only ever used Chrome for that? No other sites, ever. Then Facebook couldn't suck in other data about me from other sites or share my data with them. It wouldn't have anything to share. Bonus if I used private browsing mode or whatever Chrome calls its pr0n mode; it wouldn't even store history for Facebook itself.</p><p>Because when I went around blocking Yelp and Pandora, etc, like this post advised, I found a bunch of apps on my list that I had never given permission to install, which were obviously from me visiting news/blogs while I had Facebook open in another tab - and I am really annoyed. I had already opted out of the instant personalization days ago and it didn't stop this.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(20230754, 'VaMPKiSS1')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->								<div class=\"num-replies\">2 replies</div>	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->     <!-- Loop through the reply comments -->        <div class=\"reply-container\" >            <div class=\"comment last\" id=\"comment-20230772\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=1387900\"><img        src=\"/mt-static/support/assets_c/userpics/userpic-1387900-100x100.png\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=1387900\">JF</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2010/05/senator-al-franken-teaches-you-about-critical-facebook-privacy-settings.html#comment-20230772\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2010-05-08T07:54:43-05:00\">May  8, 2010  7:54 AM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(20230772);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=20230772');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>What about a private browsing session?</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(20230772, 'JF')\">Reply</a></div>		 	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>                <!-- Display comment (reply comment, which may be a parent of more replies) -->            <div class=\"inner-reply-container\" >                 <!-- Loop through the reply comments -->        <div class=\"reply-container\" >            <div class=\"comment last\" id=\"comment-20231046\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=49567\"><img        src=\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-49567-100x100.png\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=49567\">VaMPKiSS1</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2010/05/senator-al-franken-teaches-you-about-critical-facebook-privacy-settings.html#comment-20231046\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2010-05-08T15:58:31-05:00\">May  8, 2010  3:58 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(20231046);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=20231046');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>I don't know if a private browsing session would work; it just doesn't store info for whatever you're doing at that time, but it has cookies & stuff you used from before stored in there.
