I have a feeling I know the answer, but thought it worth an ask, so here goes - I’ve not used FB in years, and generally try to keep fairly private online (Mullvad, librefox, etc) but I’ve found I’m missing out by not being able to use FB marketplace. If I set up a fresh account, and don’t use the social side of it at all, is there a fairly safe way to use Facebook? In a container, or in Mullvad browser with nothing else open? Or an an extreme, in a VM?

    regardless of what measures you set up, they’ll still be able to collect a bunch of data based on what pages you visit their service, which posts do you spend more time looking at and which you scroll past, and so on.

      I figure that if I can keep it pretty isolated, they’ll only get “scrolls marketplace in SE uk” out of it - I’m never going to look at the feed or have “friends”.
