Did you know? FACEBOOK is TRACKING you!

A Business Insider wrote an article regarding web services collecting your browsing data. Facebook do this as well.  I believe FACEBOOK is the number one social network [as far as 950 million people registered with FB] that provides web services to its clients but unknown to them FACEBOOK is also collecting their browsing data.

Facebook is the one I trust the least. If you don't want Facebook collecting your data, there are two very simple solutions.

First, QUIT using Facebook. 
But if you are FACEBOOK addict and not ready to QUIT Facebook, then here's a second very simple OPTION to prevent Facebook from collecting your browsing data. 
  1. Download Chrome.
  2. With Chrome open, click "File" > "New Incognito Window."
  3. Log in to Facebook. 
Keeping Facebook in a separate incognito window isolates it and prevents Facebook apps, cookies, and other tracking tools from seeing your other browsing data. Save time by learning the keyboard shortcut to opening a new incognito window.
Mac: cmd + shift + n 
PC: ctrl + shift + n
