LOL why are people using Facebook?
To communicate with people, to follow various pages and groups that notify me of the current events regarding the topics that interest me, to buy and sell stuff in some groups, etc. At least in my case.
I use it for one single purpose, browsing marketplace. I look for local used game stuff and that's really it. If something peaks my interest I have my girlfriend message them since she uses messenger, I refuse to have it on my phone.
Even then, I'm using Firefox with UBO so even if they do use my browsing data for ads, I ain't seeing them anyway.
Turns out you can in fact, cuck the Zuck
Piques* your interest
Just a friendly FYI, could be voice text issue idk no shade
Actually no I'm just horribly illiterate 😂
Well, now you're a touch closer to where it sounds like you're trying to be!
It’s okay. I’ve misspelled “peek” as “peak” multiple times in the last week.
English just be like that.
Don't forget to use a facebook container on FF as well.
Firefox with the right extension can do wonders but for Facebook, it is like trying to save yourself from an atomic bomb with a shield made from led. They hire the best developers out there including OSS people to get your personal data one way or another. The day I learned advertisers abuse html5 canvas using miniscule differences between CPUs, I understood the money and development involved.
Because my friends and family, unfortunately use Facebook. Moreso IG these days actually. And if I'm not on there I get left out of fun activities.
There aren't if they don't use those other ways. Shocking, I know.
