Not quite over the top

Know what IS over the top? Facebook tracking non-members.

I don't want their tracking cookies and I would prefer Safari but Safari is unhelpful in stopping them. And once you become obsessed with Facebook's obsession it reaches the point I'm willing to drop Safari.

So I looked and looked and looked and looked and looked and looked, and stopped.

Then looked and looked and looked and looked and stopped.

In the manner of an obsessive. How I do despise all those bastards now that I got myself worked up.

Finally I edited the host files through the terminal to reject eight Facebook addresses, line for line, and if you do drop a cookie any tracking information is collected by myself and not by Facebook. But I still hated and I mean HATED seeing those Facebook cookies, for now I have preferences window open to privacy, details at all times and I can see the moment a cookie is created and I physically drag it to the trash. And I'm SICK of it.

So I installed an extension called BLUR that sends all requests through 3rd party and stops Facebook from bothering my tender little very special precious brilliant laptop. Ta daaaa.

Although I still see a cache. There are still little bits of Facebook bullshit all over everybody else's websites so it's just best to have a file for that crap so it's not always rebuilt.

NO TO THAT ! NO FACEBOOK

No Facebook file on my computer.Not one. I've HAD it. GET OUT!

It pisses me off. I want nothing to do with that space. They're nothing but trouble. Nothing. And they use their power for evil. And now I got a bug up my ass about it.

That was some good control with one hand to land on the pads instead of coming done on the hard ground.

done = down

For whatever reason, English has become my second language. I wish I knew what was my first.
