    FYI: Facebook is bypassing your Safari Privacy Settings

    WTF, I upgraded to Safari 5.1/Snow Leopard a couple of weeks ago and now if I navigate anywhere on facebook it shows up even with private browsing on?

    Not that I am doing anything shady or stupid here, but it bothers me that it shows up. Found out it's happening to a lot of people with a quick web search: https://discussions.apple.com/thread...art=0&tstart=0

    Check it out..here's from just now, (The problem being is it shows every subpage from the whole day including some stuff from work.)
    Private Browsing should be just that, I know your provider has records, but this is a pain to have to go back and delete the stuff as well as go back into preferences and remove all the website data under the privacy settings. *If you have a fix or workaround please let me know.

    Not sure I want the Big-G mhaving any more control over me, I use their email and apps more than facebook as it is.

    Google Chrome and Youtube are the only google accounts I have. No gmail, or any of that.

    Dumped my p-list, macromedia list(s) as well as Safari just now and switched over to FF plus the BetterPrivacy Add-On. Screw FB.

    I find it funny that people would beat my a$$ if you caught me going through your garbage collecting information on them, but give away all their privacy for free to Facebook.
