Facebook Disconnect - chrome extension to disable Facebook tracking

Word to the wise, this was preventing any ReCaptcha's from appearing (for me). Great ext otherwise.

I just run Facebook in a separate browser (Opera) to isolate the session. Yes, I'm that crazy.

I tried Multifox ( http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/ ), but for some reason I concluded it wasn't a good solution. Can't remember why though.

This only pertains to ads and malware, but I use Ad Muncher on Windows, which is a paid program (with a month-long trial). I use it, because I can't be bothered to set up countermeasures, every time I use a new installation. And it works in all browsers (obviously) - and outside browsers.

Cons: * Whitelisting is a hassle: I still haven't figured it out, which means that good ad networks like Yoggrt, Fusion Ads, and Deck Network are blocked. * Blacklisting is also a hassle. You'd think they would support a widget filter - or a good import feature, but alas.

It's the best desktop client I know, though.

Amen Brother!

For Firefox users:

Similar functionality can be achieved in Firefox using one of its settings. From the privacy tab of the Preferences Dialog (Options in Windows), choose "custom setting for History" and disable third-party cookies.

Another method is to use an addon called Facebook Blocker: http://webgraph.com/resources/facebookblocker/ (haven't tested).
