In response to Facebook’s latest privacy troubles, Mozilla Firefox has created a browser extension that “isolates your Facebook identity from the rest of your web activity.” What this means is that when you’re logged onto Facebook on Firefox, the platform will be separated in a special walled-off tab that makes it harder for the social media giant to track what you’re doing on other sites through third-party cookies. When you click on a Facebook link on an external site, it loads into the container, and if you click on an outside link on Facebook, it loads into your regular browser window.
Facebook users can take back their privacy with this Firefox browser extension
