Does this block the Facebook API from loading, or does it simply block the display of Facebook integration?

Many thanks!

Safari users: This trick works on Safari 5.1.1 (I'm running 10.6.8) if you install the AdBlock extension. The filter string works as is with no modification necessary. The AdBlock extension is currently listed as the most popular extension on Apple's website listing of Safari extensions. It is also available at the developer's website: http://safariadblock.com/

First of all I am very grateful for this. Strange thing is that after installing the extra filter in Adblock, on money.cnn.com the Facebook integration is still present. While on other sites like www.thehuffingtonpost.com FB icons are still there but no longer redirect me to Facebook (also fine for me). Luckily on most sites, like the Ducth ones I use (I'm from the Netherlands) Facebook Connect is completely gone. So much obliged and just telling you about money.cnn.com.

2011-05-19T12:42:20.000-06:00

I just used the Chrome block, and from what I can tell, washingtonpost.com (the only website I've checked so far) doesn't think I'm logged in with FB. It gives me the option to connect with FB, Twitter, etc, but doesn't know that I'm already logged in to FB.

I do have one question, though... this only blocks it for me, right? My other friends will still be able to see my name on those same websites if, for example, I shared an article from the website, etc?

Darn FB... I'm getting really ornery about them.

Thanks for this! Yesterday I was reading a rather politically incorrect article and it was somehow posted to my facebook page as a like! Unfortunately, that took a bit of explaining, but glad that won't be happening again. Thanks for the info :)

thank you very much for this guide... this really helps a lot because of our limited internet usage at work wherein almost all sites which has a facebook-related button are blocked.

thanks again!!!

Thank you for this! I hate that you can't just opt out. I actually considered *gasp* deleting my Facebook account if this got much more invasive.

Why do I see FB content when I go to latimes.com?? WHY...!! I AM NOT GOING TO FACEBOOK. WHY DO I HAVE TO CARE ABOUT FB IF I AM GOING TO LATIMES.com

Perhaps my bank account information should be there too. ready to open my wallet just in case I want to buy something.

WE DONT LIKE IT.

2011-04-03T11:34:58.000-06:00

Apart from the standard web page moved or similar domain brand protection redirects. I think it's simply wrong and getting rediculous the number of connections to domains I haven't requested, if I look at a url and decide I trust that url I shouldn't be connected to a hundred others. It's more than rude, maybe I can twist this example to create a generic to browser/system firewall with override which allows my chosen actions. The only forseeable problems if its doable are sites refusing to play ball.

2011-02-13T03:44:41.000-07:00

I would like to completely remove anything that reminds me of facebook from my browsing experience.

No fb icons. No fb like it.

I do not want to live in a world where people use fb.

Anything people get too much fanatized about is dangerous for society. And intellect.

2011-01-23T14:46:32.000-07:00

I don't understand your dislike of the feature, the websites can't see your fb info, they can't see who you are and they can't interact with your account.

FB Connect uses an iFrame, this means everything is segregated by the browser as it would be a violation of cross domain security.

In other words sitexyz.com and facebook.com are separate domains and are not allowed to communicate with each other.

2010-11-30T22:46:20.000-07:00

There is an Adblock extension for Safari, just go to http://safariadblock.com/. Once installed, it will give you a new "Adblock Options" button. If you click on this and go to "Blacklist" and then click on the "Edit" button, you can add the filter.

I think the leading pipes will not work. It works without them:

facebook.*$domain=~facebook.com|~127.0.0.1
