Hello, smart people. Filling out an online form to volunteer for something, Firefox’s Facebook-fence icon appeared on the email field. Confused, I clicked on its question mark. On the next page, Mozilla wanted to sell me Firefox relay for $7/mo. (That’s their VPN + email masking + phone masking.) I used my yandex.ru email address instead for $0. Here’s the question: is Facebook really able to track me because I’ve signed up to volunteer for Cornel West (setting aside the FB-Russia blockage issue)? Thanks.

Thanks, everyone, for the info and education. I’ve just discovered and added Privacy Badger to FF. Tracking makes me feel slimed.

Iirc privacy badger had some incident where they became untrustworthy, ublock Origin is the highly recommended tool against everything.

Don’t take this for granted, do your own research, unlike me.
