Detailed Explanation – Disable Facebook Tracking
Compile Tracking URL Patterns
At Requestly, we compiled a list of url patterns used by CDNs of various facebook products like whatsapp, instagram, facebook etc.
Here is the list of patterns which facebook uses to track you:
- fbsbx
- bcdn
- tfbnw
- cdninstagram
- facebook-web-clients
- fbcdn-profile-a
- instagramstatic-a
- fb
Setup Cancel/Blocker Rule
Requestly has a Cancel Rule (Read about all rule types here) which can be used to block urls to load in your browser. Requestly has a very intuitive interface using which you can setup a Cancel rule within seconds. We setup a Cancel rule to block the URLs by doing wildcard matching with the filtered list of domains that we have created.
Yep! It’s that simple.
