I only used FB in a dedicated virtual machine, with vanilla Chromium in Incognito mode. So, I got the full experience, and I hope I limited my ad relevancy (on my main VM, I use Firefox with Ghostery and Ublock Origin, which I hope stops FB button trackers).
I hope that's satire. You really go to all those lengths to access Facebook? Maybe it's time to embrace the withdrawals.
Not satire, and not great lengths. I treat Windows as a shell, which runs virtual machines dedicated to specific jobs. I have an office VM, gaming VM, etc. It's safer, better organised, lower maintenance, and at current levels of computer power, performant without being a drag on my computer resources.
