TBH, i would like to see all the like/+1/tweet/digg buttons gone, they are a big privacy hazard. This functionality should be included in the browser or available from extensions.
- rjd 15y agoI use a few plugins to handle this, check out: http://www.ghostery.com/ http://www.ghostery.com/ http://open-bits.com/shellfish/ http://open-bits.com/shellfish/ http://webgraph.com/resources/facebookblocker/ http://webgraph.com/resources/facebookblocker/ With ad block it cleans pages up like you wouldn't believe. Many sites actually become readable :O
- cpeterso 15y agoWhat does Facebook Blocker do that Ghostery (combined with AdBlock Plus) doesn't? Are these redundant extensions?
- rjd 15y agoProbably, I just had a look what I was currently running and noted them down. Could probably do with uninstalling it ;)
- slowpoke 15y agoGhostery is a general tracker blocker. FBB only blocks, as the name implies, Facebook related stuff - at least that's what I infer from a quick skim through the description. So, if you only want Facebook gone, by all means use FBB. If you don't want trackers in general (Google Analytics etc), use Ghostery.
- mason2 15y agoWhat about an add-on designed with the only purpose of implementing this 2-Click solution? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2-click-like/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2-click-like/ :)
- pak 15y agoHandily, the functionality to make them disappear is available in many browser extensions, like Disconnect (http://disconnect.me/ http://disconnect.me/).
