I tried a few search variations but did not see what I was looking for - if there is an existing thread I would appreciate being pointed that way!
I have avoided Facebook thus far but now with kids leaving the nest, people at work defaulting to making announcements on Facebook, and a friend who just sent me a note that I could see pictures of their new baby on Facebook...well, it is getting harder to avoid. I don't like what I perceive to be its privacy invasion, or its methods of tracking people. From facial recognition to ... well, I am not here to gripe about Facebook. I am here to ask whether there is any secure way to use it on my Mac.
Should I set up a separate user account on my Mac just for Facebook? Would that help prevent its access to the rest of my life and keep my Mac more secure? No admin rights for that account, etc... What about if I only ran Facebook under Guest user account?
Are any of you Mac Rumors readers doing anything with Facebook to make it less intrusive but still allowing you to get on it if you need to?
Thanks!
