How To Disable Social Networks Like Facebook From Tracking You with The Priv3 Firefox Extension

It has been a hot topic from the day it was found that Facebook is tracking visits of users even after logging out. So here is a quick solution named Priv3.

How Social Networking Sites Can Track You :

    In order to integrate interactive features—such as buttons, comment forums, activity feeds, or recommendations—from social networking sites, authors of web content integrate HTML snippets or JavaScript code provided by the social networks into their pages.
For example, when you are logged into your Google or Facebook account and visit a movie review page on rottentomatoes.com, your browser automatically pulls in the "+1" button from Google's servers and the "Like" button from Facebook. These downloads include the session cookies your browser uses to inform Google and Facebook that you have previously logged in, and so Google and Facebook automatically learn about your personal interest in the movie page you're looking at, even if you never actually click on either of their buttons.         


How Priv3 Works :

    Blocking simple "web bugs" or "trackers" is fairly straightforward, because doing so does not harm your web surfing experience. By contrast, completely blocking social networking features is counterproductive, because doing prevents you from actually using these features—say to leave a comment, or to "like" something—when you would like to do so.
Therefore, Priv3 does not block third-party interactions completely. Instead, it selectively suppresses the inclusion of third-party web cookies when your browser pulls in content from the social networks, but does provide them if you decide to interact with the social networking features. You still see the number of "likes" the page has accumulated on Facebook or the comments other people left using Facebook's discussion mechanism. Facebook however only learns the IP address of the computer you are using.
Should you decide to interact with the social feature, Priv3 detects any mouseclick or keystroke directed at the feature. It then reloads it with your session cookies and passes on the click or keystroke, thus revealing your identity to the social network and informing it of your desired action.         



Priv3's Currently Supported Social Networking Sites :
It currently understands the interactive features of the following social networks:
  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Google +1
  • LinkedIn

Facebook and Amazon are storing variant passwords

Yes. I mean it. The support for the title is as below.

Facebook is storing the users' passwords in 3 forms.I've tried this too. You can use any of these to login to your Facebook account. The forms are :

  1. Original password. (say "passWord123")
  2. First letter capitalized. ("PassWord123")
  3. Reverse of capitalization i.e changing the case for all the letters. ("PASSwORD123")
The second type is for Mobile devices. Third type is also used in order to facilitate the user taking the caps-lock key into consideration i.e even if your caps-lock is on, you can enter your Facebook account by entering your password normally. The question here is "Is this a bug?" My answer is "It doesn't matter" why beacuse, this is purely to facilitate the users. But coming to bruteforce attacks, this raises the vulnerability level to 3 times.

Now, coming to Amazon it uses similar concept but not completely like Facebook. 

This is the link for the article about this. I didn't try this yet. Please let me know through your valuable comments if anything is wrong.

How to Block Facebook, Twitter, Email for Few Hours Daily


install the Website Blocker extension. Edit some settings and you can block any website for as many hours as you want.
Choose the settings wisely and the extension provides a simple interface to  block websites, as many as you want and at custom times you want. You can also type an optional message.



How to Block Any Website for Employees / Users


This extension works well if you want to prevent access of social media sites by your employees. Simply block the sites during working hours and they will never know how to access them.
1. Hide the Website Blocker icon from the Chrome toolbar. Right click the icon and click “Hide button”
Hide button
2. Disable the link from showing in the block message alert which can guide people to disable the options. Also disable the ability to edit settings from the popup alert options
block disable link
Unless people really know how to browse around into Chrome settings, identify the website blocker, experiment with its settings and disable it –  it should work to block websites for most people. Just keep Chrome as default and only browser on the computer.
