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

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.

I never embed social media features into my webpages. All those iframes and javascript libraries ruin everything, especially on mobile. Gotta build that shit from scratch. Social media APIs are the bane of my existence.

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

The entire point of the "likes" crap is so that they can target ads at you. Of course they do this. That's why all these social media douches love "followers" and "likes". Individually they have a group of people they can spam. As a group, it gives them demographics so they can spam other people that have liked things in the categories they're targeting.

I heard of that plugin for Firefox before and am trying it out. I usually don't click on any social media buttons on any site but the social media sites themselves though

Doesn't matter whether you click them or not. Whenever you visit the page, your browser will load the like button from the Facebook servers so that it can display it to you, and Facebook can derive what page you're visiting from that request.

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

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.
