How to completely block Facebook

Like many others, I have drunk the Koolaid, and am hooked. Thus, the problems with Safari creates a sort of cognitive dissonance for me. I have struggled with Safari's inability to do what it says under preferences and I am disheartened by Apple's nonresponse to the problem. This sort of incompetence we came to expect from nearly all other software and hardware companies, and we suffered with it until the arrival of Apple.

The larger question is. Why hasn't Apple fixed this problem? Perhaps this is not incompetence, but rather by design. This conclusion is more than a little disheartening for me as a user, and just as importantly, as an investor. It's hard to imagine a situation like this persisting under the guidance of Mr. Jobs, and maybe this is the first chink in the armor. Perhaps it has been the wow factor that attracted so many of us to these excellent products, but it is the reliability factor that keeps us in the fold.

I have successfully solved the problem by switching to the Firefox web browser. It appears to be completely capable of doing what it says - blocking all cookies, but it goes much farther in permitting a user to select exactly which cookies to block or allow. This is a sophisticated system that with its ease of use, suggests Firefox has borrowed a page from Apple's success.

I know of no biggerr threat to Apple's ongoing success than its failure to fix problems such as this one, for after the wow factor has faded and been stolen and copied by every other Tom, Dick and Harry manufacturer out there, it is the dependability and reliability that keeps us in the fold.

This is indeed a disappointment.

Hi..

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.

Click Details then click Remove All Website Data ...

Now select the Autofill tab. Click the Edit button next to: User names and passwords Delete the FB url.

The only way to avoid FB cookies is to not visit the site.
