Block Facebook helps you protect your privacy by blocking all URLs associated with Facebook (including Facebook's tracking pixels).
It works in two ways:
> When you try to visit any of the URLs associated with Facebook, for example, facebook.com, developer.facebook.com, apps.facebook.com etc, it blocks the website from loading and redirects you to a locally hosted page with a message that says: "Your Facebook Has Been Blocked".
> When you visit a website that has a Facebook tracking pixel on it, the Chrome Extension will stop that pixel from firing thereby rendering Facebook incapable of tracking your browsing behavior across multiple sites.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
