Does anyone have suggestions or best practices for using facebook securely (ie to maintain an account but not let it be linked w/ all of your other browsing activities)? I was thinking something like hosting a hardened/non-fingerprintable browser from a VPS/cloud provider somewhere and only using that to interact with the site.

Ghostery (they may be evil, it seems they've mutated into a company selling "insight" about 3rd party tracker blocking, insight they gather from their users usage of their browser extension!) blocks close to a thousand 3rd party trackers. Yes there are that many.

Even without an FB account, it's interesting how Fb probably has a profile of you from your friends. If you have 5 friends who use FB and they upload party pics of you 6, FB can probably nake a profile of that "ghost" through your friends' characters. E.g. All 5 like metal, all 5 checked-in to a metal concert/the FB app places them there, and there's a pre-concert photo of you 6, the machine can conclude the ghost (you) probably like metal too. And it already has your face in its face recognition database...

Noscript can block js from Facebook, except when you're on Facebook.com.

How do we know facebook doesn't serve up tracking scripts from other domains?
