I already use the multi-container accounts to do this. It works fantastically, and is the biggest reason that Chrome is gone from my mac.

Why is this different from Privacy Badger? This allows you to segregate all facebook toxicity to a single container. This allows you to fully use facebook, and places like login via facebook, without exposing other things to facebook in the first place.

That said, this really doesn't address either the Cambridge situation, or the fact that Facebook themselves allowed the Obama campagin to pull demographic information in violation of their own polices, which was arguably impacted far more people (https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/facebook-data-... && http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5520303/Obama-campai...). The only solution to that is to #DeleteFacebook. Facebook is a surveillance as a service provider. The only way to keep them from monetizing you for commercial, social or political reasons is to firewall them off.

You can also associate this with a VPN, if you want to deny them the IP address your home machine is using.

You can do the same thing with Chrome profiles, Chrome Canary and Choosy. This multi-container thing (per OP, don't know if you are using the same one) appears to be FB only. So while it is effortless, it's reactionary and limited. The general solution is better and doesn't force you to a specific browser.

Disclaimer: When I use google (search, gmail, etc) and facebook I use specific profiles for those activities. I use a default profile for everything else. So, I don't actually use the above solution myself.

I used to alternate between browsers for different uses but after the Pocket debacle I abandoned Firefox "for good". Since Quantum I haven't liked it anyway.

I believe the parent comment is referring to multi-account-containers [1], which is a general implementation.

This Facebook extension is a reactionary Facebook-specific adaptation of that extension. But it is still useful for many users since it doesn't require any user interaction.

I think multi-account-containers is more convenient than profiles since it provides a single interface to manage the containers and browser settings are shared, but I am actually using profiles on Firefox because the extension doesn't seem to support the "Never remember history" browser option.
