How to remove FaceBook tracking strings

[blues]

Do you install one of these two sites or both of them at the same time? Remember, I'm an old shooter and not a computer guy per se.

Clay, I run the following on chromebook, all together:

HTTPS Everywhere, Privacy Badger, Cookie AutoDelete and uBlock Origin. The first three are a breeze to set up. uBlock Origin is also easy to set up but has lots of different configurations depending on your abilities and comfort level. Nothing that will mess up your system, just that you might have to change a configuration if it blocks too much.

I'm happy to help via PM or phone if you need help. I'm not a computer guy, but I can find my way around most of the not too technical stuff.

I run Firefox because I think that Google is the devil. I see that these also run on Firefox. I run a VPN, but even with the vpn the trackers are out there. Thanks for the help.

My pleasure. I think you'll find them useful.

Another way to deal with dastardly sites is via apps / extensions like uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger. I use them on Chromebook with excellent results.

@LittleLebowski too.

1) How does one embed a FB or Twitter post? Just copy and paste the embed code?

2) Does Privacy Badger work in the chrome browser on a PC or Mac?

It absolutely should on a PC as far as I know. Don't know much about the Mac OS. Check to see if it's available in the apple store or whatever they call it.


ETA:

Check here:

Will you be supporting any other browsers besides Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Opera?
Safari/iOS: Unfortunately, after legal review, the EFF found Apple’s developer agreement unacceptable. Furthermore, Safari seems to lack certain extension capabilities required by Privacy Badger to function properly.

Chrome on Android does not support extensions.

If you would like to help us port Privacy Badger to other platforms, please let us know!

1) don't know about Facebook but Twitter is this: https://pistol-forum.com/misc.php?do=bbcode#tweet it's toward the bottom of that page.

2) Yes, it does. That's what I use on my old PC.

How to embed Twitter (I need to look into making this easier):

Example, here is a recent tweet from Tim Pool:

https://twitter.com/timcast/status/1267106335373570051?s=21

Strip out everything but the long number string near the end so that you have something that looks like this:

1267106335373570051

Then add your twitter forum code like so:

[tweet]1267106335373570051[/tweet]

And here we go, live!
