There's an extension for Firefox and other browsers called NoScript. It allows you to control which server-side scripts can run in your browser.

I have Facebook marked as Untrusted. While browsing the web, I see no indication that facebook even exists; all traces of it are blocked from my browser.

It takes a little time and effort to 'train' NoScript according to your preferences but it can be done.

Mark Zukerberg owns the domain name/s and the servers and the infrastructure. It's slightly foolish to even talk about deleting a whole website that belongs to someone else. That's not how the internet works.

If banishing it from your own browser is not satisfactory, perhaps you should consider pulling the plug on your device and giving the web a miss completely.

However, answering the question that less that 3% would be able to utilize without installing Firefox does not make sense to me.

8. Learn Kali Linux. It's for hackers, supposedly white hat or ethical hackers.

But their defenses are probably first-rate.

The physical location is the old Sun complex in Menlo Park, CA. DO NOT physically attack it. I'm just sorry it lost all its class when Sun left it.

Musk and Zuck are really at odds and Musk canceled a planned cage match, so there's that. 🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓
