I just found a Google Chrome - free extension regarding Facebook snooping/tracking. Hopefully will immediately resolve my on-going problem.


A free extension called "Facebook Disconnect" blocks Facebook tracking in third-party sites (stop Facebook tracking). And allows the user to surf web faster, more private, more secure when using Google Chrome.


"Facebook Disconnect" completely blocks the social network’s ability to track your account around the web. Like buttons, share buttons, Facebook comment threads, Facebook logins—all these now-ubiquitous adornments will be nuked entirely.


The extension is available under Google Chrome Extensions. Within the “More Tools” > then go to “Extensions” found via under the Google Chrome “Task Bar” section then search for (or do a search for): Facebook Disconnect.

But if anyone else here at the forum have any Web Browser Cookie suggestions or recommendations please continue to post them him. Thanks everyone.
