Avoid with these TRICKS that Facebook and Instagram spy on you

Recently, it was revealed that, through the browsers integrated into their platforms, Facebook and Instagram monitor and track the activity of their users on third-party web portals, which is why in this note we will tell you how to prevent that from happening. Meta’s two social networks have integrated browsers, that is, those that are within the digital platforms integrated into profiles of stores or services and that allow the Internet user to open links to web pages without having to leave the app. According to the study carried out by the researcher and developer of the “Fastlane” platform, Felix Krause, who created a tool through which he has classified all the additional commands added to a web portal by the browser integrated into Facebook and Instagram, the applications can track the interactions that users have on third-party websites. It is in this way that Meta platforms have access to all the movements carried out by users and, in this way, be able to know their tastes, interests and needs, depending on the type of navigation they do in these portals. How to prevent Facebook and Instagram from “spying” on you Like everything, the report published by Krause also outlines some suggestions to prevent browsers integrated into Meta’s digital platforms from tracking and monitoring the activity of Internet users on third-party websites. One of the recommendations given by the researcher is to use the web version of Facebook and Instagram from the device’s own browser, instead of downloading and installing the apps of these social networks. Also, a second tip is, if the apps of the platforms have already been installed, when opening the links to external web portals, choose the option to do so in a browser external to those integrated in social networks. This alternative is located in the three-dot icon located at the top right of the interface. Finally, as a third option, Felix Krause recommends copying and pasting the URL of the website in question into an external browser offered by Meta’s electronic social media application.
