I use 2 very simple adblock plus rules that deactivate all of facebook outside of the facebook website. Simple and straightforward and works fine for me.
If you're a Firefox user and you'd rather whitelist known good actors, than blacklist known bad actors, as per this example. Install the RequestPolicy addon.
Search that for 'face' and you'll find only 4 rules that would apply, and those are about removing pixel trackers whilst leaving content intact.
The rules above remove content, which is just as well as anything a pixel tracker can do content could do. Which is where the current paranoia level seems to be.

It might not be enough, though :D
Something like, for FireFox, IIRC:
And for Chrome, I think it would become: Edit: adding the rulesIf you're a Firefox user and you'd rather whitelist known good actors, than blacklist known bad actors, as per this example. Install the RequestPolicy addon.
I got pointed to this addon in a past discussion about FB here on HN and I can fully support this recommendation.
Would you mind sharing that rule?

I guess EasyPrivacy one of the in built filter in ad-block plus already does that. Correct me if i am wrong.
I thought that, but with EasyPrivacy, I still have the facebook comments on TC, but not with that rule.
Maybe I did something wrong...

There's also the Antisocial filter, which removes social widgets.

It has many filters for Facebook, and I can clearly see, for example, the one for Facebook Connect.
