Remind me of that scene in The Dark Knight when Lucius Fox has all the screens with all the data from every smartphone around.
The only way I’ll use Facebook nowadays is in a browser sandbox. And before you ask, it’s pretty much Events and Marketplace nowadays; the main feed is unusable and horrifying nowadays, and everybody I know has moved on from Messenger.
Hermit browser does a good job of sandboxing random apps like that. Wish it had more than 5 sandboxes though, it severely limits its usability.
Everyone I know pretty much uses fb messenger exclusively, it’s the only reason I still have it. If there was a reliable way to hook into messenger from another app I’d switch in a second, but still the reliance on messenger is there.
It’s really good for group messages
Run it in a Sandboxie sandbox. It can run any application in a Sandbox.
Or just spin up a lightweight VM. Could even run it in a Docker container.
