I know this isn't the best solution but uBlock has a list that blocks all social buttons for you. Very easy to install and use.


The Fanboy Social list is mostly cosmetic filtering, it won't prevent connection to Facebook servers.

For this I suggest dynamic filtering[1], as this guarantees there will be no connection to sites with block rules, and block rules can be easily locally overridden in case it is needed for a specific site.

I use uBlock, Nanodefender, Adguard and HOST blocks.
