I'm guessing even if you don't use Facebook it tracks?

Anytime you see that "Like this on Facebook" or their thumbs up button on any website your browsing data is being sent back to Facebook.
I recommend privacy badger or noscript to kill their button for good.

Already did, just doesn't work on mobile. I blocked Facebook at my router level though.

The antidote: Disconnect add-on, or uBlock Origin or Adblock Plus with the Fanboy Anti-social lists

They already do this.. That's why privacybadger replaces social media buttons.

Ghostery does the same thing. I have all 3, Ghostery, AdBlockPlus, and Privacy Badger.

Ghostery opts you in to "GhostRank" by default, which sells your information to advertisers.
The “Anti-Facebook List” on uBlock is an alternative especially for people who don’t use Facebook at all (since it “will break on facebook-based comment sites and may also break on some facebook apps or games”). It removes Facebook like buttons and any other embedded Facebook resources completely.
If you’re a webmaster, you really should consider a two-click solution like Shariff for social media buttons.
i'm currently using it myself, was going though the settings but i can't seem to find what i'm looking for. Is there a way to get privacybadger to remove the buttons as well. If they're blocked, i'm not going to click on them in the first place, might as well make the website less cluttered.

Though for Pale Moon users refer to this forum post about getting Privacy Badger working on PM.
