Block Facebook is a Chrome Extension that helps you protect your privacy by blocking all URLs associated with Facebook (including Facebook tracking pixels). The recent Cambridge Analytica controversy adds to the long list of instances where Facebook has misused user data so it's time we do something about it. Plus, blocking FB is also good for productivity πŸ˜› Inspired by: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16632677

Just my 2 cents: why not use uBlock and block even more trackers, anytics, and other shit...

Hey @jakecrump, I actually made it last night :p I was inspired by this Hackernews post from 2016 which was trending yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/ite...

@jakecrump Can't figure out how to add myself as a maker

Nice timing. Would this block facebook ad tracking so if I visit a page that shows a pair of sneakers for sale, I won't get those pair of sneakers following me for the next 6 months on social media?

hey @matthewboyle25, I am not sure, it'll block all the calls made from your browser to these URLs: https://github.com/jmdugan/block... that are associated with Facebook. If any of those URLs are linked with Facebook's marketing pixel then yes! You'll disappear from Facebook's radar

Will you be releasing the source code? I see the website is hosting using Github, but I don't see a repo for it.

Great timing, I suspect more and more people will be installing these types of blockers. Facebook only? Or extended to other social media?

hey @ragsy, I am not sure. It was suppose to be a two hour, after midnight kind of a project.

@sarim_haq hit the nail on the head!
