Using Little Snitch to block all Facebook connections is like using goat to land on moon...

  What a funny example, why is that?

    Because it is completely impractical. I used LS but it's a waste of time to check and block ads servers or malicious domains, which is why most garbage should be blocked from hosts or dnsmasq.

      The maintenance aspect of LS is definitely on the high side and only really dedicated folks will stick to it; if it were to come with auto-updated maintained lists it would most likely be used more

  To clarify, I whitelist my browser entirely in Little Snitch and delegate to uMatrix and other extensions. I also don't pre-emptively load in rules into Little Snitch - I have it running in active/interrupt mode, so it prompts me whenever it tries to make a new connection I haven't signed off on before. Unsurprisingly, not very many apps try to connect to Facebook.

  That made me laugh out a boogie.
