Facebook Redirect Fixer

by born2c0de · (41 ratings)

Facebook stores what links you click, pictures you see, user profiles you visit, etc. This extension prevents Facebook from learning your browsing habits.

Description

Facebook adds redirection to all shared links to learn what links you click. This extension removes Facebook's redirection to protect your privacy. As a side-effect, shared links will load faster as they are no longer passed to Facebook for redirection. Facebook also stores which pictures you visit, status updates you click (i.e. plan on commenting on but don't), user profiles visited, etc. This extension prevents facebook from (literally) stalking you in its ecosystem. To turn off/on this extension, disable/enable it from the 'Manage Extensions' page which can be accessed by the Ctrl+Shift+E keyboard shortcut. This project is open source and its source code can be accessed at https://github.com/born2c0de/facebook-redirect-fixer
