> I even logged in using incognito mode

This doesn't do what you think it does.

When you go to facebook.com incognito means you wont give them any of your normal cookies so facebook will be all like "Who is this guy???"

But then you log in, so facebook goes "oh I see it's lokedhs! welcome back!"

Incognito mode is designed to be undetectable. So from Facebook's point of view it looks like you signed in just like normal, and they will give you content just like normal.

I did it because when I activate incognito mode it disabled my extensions. The main reason for me doing that was that I wanted to make sure that it wasn't my adblocker that filtered it out.

Sorry for not being clear about that.
