Yikes, that is a ton of collected data!

I deleted my FB years ago. I don't think I had made any posts, and I'd only used it on a single computer on a browser that I didn't use for anything else. And the system has since been wiped and had a fresh OS install.

I doubt they can follow me through all that.

they can and they do if you don't block lots of domains just by following your surfing habits to prepare your profile

I've had add-ons like Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin (with FB tracking blocklists), and LocalCDN running basically since they started existing, do these have any effect? Or are they just tracking my IP address?

So are you saying that ever having an account makes you tracked for life? Or are you saying it doesn't matter if you're a user at all?

what I say is that it doesn't matter if you have an account or not; they're tracking you anyway
