Instead, get the Free DoNotTrack+, and kill all of the literally dozens of trackers that infest most web sites, including Facebook. On my system, DNT+ has killed just under 100,000 tracking attempts in the past few weeks, 18,000 of them from Facebook Like buttons, and quite a few from this web site.
