Facebook has announced it will roll out a new option called Link History to mobile users around the world. What does that mean?

    • I don’t install Facebook app on phone and find ways to remove/disable if come pre-installed.
    • Pretty much all social network platform are browsed with a container tab.
    • I look at the link before I click, if it’s super long or some google redirecting shit I just DDG and search the keywords myself. (is there a firefox extension that does this automatically?? removing the redirect/tracking link and convert back into normal link)

      In Firefox, at least desktop, you can right click, and copy link without tracking stuff.

      Edit: havent tried with links from Facebook
