#132If you want to disable facebook tracking out of facebook in the future, it's possible on this link: https://www.facebook.com/off_facebook_activity/future_activi...

That's encouraging, because it looks like my countermeasures have been working: - Fingerprinting resistance in Firefox (privacy.resistFingerprinting = true) - First-party isolation in Firefox (privacy.firstparty.isolate = true) - Blocking third-party cookies in Firefox (network.cookie.cookieBehavior = 1) - Firefox container when I need to login to ad/tracking companies (Facebook, G…
How do you cope with constant reCAPTCHA prompts? I get prompted by Google when using search, because it thinks I'm a bot if I'm anonymous enough.

I think they cross-reference Android Advertising ID in their SDK. Have you ever logged to Facebook from your phone? https://developers.facebook.com/docs/app-ads/targeting/mobil...
I have, either in the browser or in Swipe (a third-party app). I've never logged in to or installed the Facebook app or Messenger.
