</div>To me this is the inverse of how cookies (and browser security) should<br>
be handled. I browse with Noscript, Cookie Monster, Better Privacy,<br>
Refcontrol, and Adblock add-ons for Firefox. It means that all<br>
javascript, cookies, referers, and ads are blacklisted by default, and I<br>
have the option to add temporary or permanent exceptions.<br></blockquote><div><br>Cookie Monster is pretty neat - I guess I won't have to keep my private hacked version of CS Lite anymore. Completely agreed on the rest, and this is a big part of the reason Firefox is my browser of choice: the privacy and control extensions available for it are simply not possible in other browsers.<br>
<br>As for the original question, blocking <a href="http://facebook.com">facebook.com</a> and <a href="http://fbcdn.net">fbcdn.net</a> (I think) in adblock will do the trick (in Firefox, at least). Other sites will continue to work just fine, though <a href="http://facebook.com">facebook.com</a> won't work at all. I made a separate, hardened profile for Facebook for those very rare occasions when I have reason to use that site.<br>
