How do you block Facebook from tracking your online activities?
Facebook is open about the fact that it records user activity even when they are not using the social network. This is evident in the content of advertisements based on data gathered via covert "Like" and "Share on Facebook" buttons on visited websites that monitor movements without prompting.
Users who are concerned about privacy can download the Facebook Container extension for Mozilla Firefox, which forbids the collection of data in several ways: once the plug-in is activated, Facebook tracking systems on third-party websites will be isolated, and the social network page will open in a constrained window.

When you click an external link from Facebook, the page will open in a new tab, outside of the container. Moreover, the "Share with Facebook" button on external websites will launch a new tab in a separate window, preventing tracking by the social network.
