Sadly it isn't just Facebook that tracks you, every free service is tracking you. Also most paid ones as well.
If you have a spare low power computer a raspberry pi or a mini PC you can run Pi-hole to block most request at the DNS level. Just a warning this might annoy your significant other when they try to click Instagram ads  ;D luckily you can setup rules to bypass devices.

I have mine setup to stop Windows telemetry, website tracking, ads, known malware urls. I also had to block googles DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as most IOT devices use it as a default DNS this forces them to use my network DNS to block tracking.

CCleaner is Crap Cleaner and I use it all the time. I may have posted about Glary utilities awhile ago yes. I haven't used it in a while. Maybe I should give it a try again.

I've never heard of 'crap cleaner". And aren't you the one who posted about Glarys Utilities? I've been using it ever since and pay for the pro version. There's also Facebook Container for Firefox that traps others. I'm not sure if it works for other browsers or not.

I'm rarely on FB, TW, etc. for those reasons and many more. No security and will gather any and all intel on you they can.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I also use CCleaner as it removes some things that Glary's doesn't and vice versa. ;) I try to remember to run them on the weekends and do a thorough cleaning since I normally don't want them running on Windows startup.

...And another little tip for those that use FB. If your page continues to jump on you the easiest way to stop that is to go into your settings and take off smooth scrolling. Not sure why that helps but it does. :)

I noticed the other day that after I had cleaned my cookies and cache using crap cleaner, that Facebook is loaded with trackers. After cleaning everything I went to the login page and sat there for about 10 seconds. I then pulled out Crap Cleaner again and cleaned. Just sitting on the login page I had acquired over 100 trackers. That's BEFORE login. It gets a lot worse the longer you stay on it. It's just an insane place to be.

Quote from Google:


QuoteObject-oriented programming (OOP) is a computer programming model that organizes software design around data, or objects, rather than functions and logic. An object can be defined as a data field that has unique attributes and behavior.
