Right on. Another thing that works for me is not watching any news at all on TV except for occasionally NPR. Instead, I like the text only feeds of NPR and CNN, and I try not to read those every day.

I do still look at Facebook once a week for about 10 minutes. I do so in a private browser tab, and routinely try to delete FB cookies.




Set up a site specific browser, which makes it easier to sequester all FB cookies and browsing to a separate environment. I use Fluid on macOS, but there are other approaches.

What's the advantage of this over a private or incognito window?


Private or incognito mode doesn't do all that much. Better to use Ghostery in addition.


If you are more paranoid of intra-browser security risks than inter-browser risks?
