When I ran MicroCrash I used Sandboxie.

Facebook can track your Internet history and credit card number on other sites

Meta is reportedly 'rewriting' websites visited by its users and tracking them across the web to find out what they look - it apparently 'monitors all user interactions' for advertising

I never, never use Farcebook for anything.

I use Firefox on Windoze 10 with uBlock Origin running to help keep the bad stuff away. Also have the Facebook Container extension installed, which sandboxes the Facebook session.
After visiting Facebook I clean all the cookies, history and cached data. I think this helps keep the tracking and intrusiveness to a dull roar.
Also use BleachBit frequently for a clean machine. Might help reduce tracking, and probably helps performance, as the system doesn't have to deal with all that unneeded junk data buildup.

I very rarely go to Facebook on my phone, and only use Firefox if I do. I immediately clean up afterwards. There are three Facebook services baked into the phone (LGV30) that can't be removed. I set them to disabled. Someday I might root the phone to remove those, but I depend on it too much right now to risk bricking it.

I've used the marketplace feature to find things. I do not use my real name. I don't post images of my family. they demanded a state or federal ID from me once. I forged it. There is no set of facts that can convince me that Mark Suckaturd is entitled to know anything about me.

Root your phone and you can remove them

My feeling exactly. In fact, I disabled tracking on my cell phone a long time ago.

Facebook demanded ID?

 

[Raul-02]

Yup. They demanded a state or federally issued ID. Twice actually. I felt no shame forging one.

Hey, you just did what all the other scammers on FB and Craigslist do.

Who'd I scam? and How much did I get for this scam?

 

[Raul-02]

You are selling stuff on FB.

Nope never sold a thing.

Sounds like someone was trying to scam you then.
