[QUOTE="Kubla, post: 1072422, member: 58813"] They have been doing this for a long time, I used to use a very powerful firewall called xSOS, it could show every single ip address that you connect to when you open a web site, then allow you to block all the addresses you did not want to connect to. Unfortunately it must have been too powerful as the company abruptly disappeared from the internet and the developer stopped answering e-mails. Using this software I was surprised at how many sites connected you to Facebook ip addresses so you are likely being tracked by Facebook even if you don't use Facebook. Probably a good idea to get a blocklist of Facebook domains, or use an extension blocker, not sure but maybe Ublock origin can do it, another extension called Freedom that is supposed to do it. You can use a DNS Filter like NextDNS to block them, there is also a parental control software called Canopy that can block them, I use Blackfog to block them now.. [/QUOTE]
