I never knowingly log into Facebook, I would rather poke my eyes out with rusty nail, but when I check cookies there they are albeit sitting at zero bytes. Too many scams etc and I just have no interest in having a Facebook page.

Get pissed off when restaurants use Facebook to show their menu

Is there a way I can block them permanently forever?

Don't go on sites that are mad for it is a start smile




Not a helpful answer I know. Probably not even accurate. It's been a slow afternoon.

Write yourself a browser extension that re-directs you to Tea and Kittens.

A Pi-Hole is a device which which sort of acts as a gateway on your network. Inbound traffic from the internet gets passed into the Pi-Hole before being distributed back to your router for broadcast within your network. The Pi-Hole can be configured to 'block' traffic from certain domains like mugfacettbook

If you have a Eero router (talktalk) the app seems to be pretty good at blocking any thing you like.
