I uninstalled every Facebook product from my phone. Turns out I really didn't need Messenger after all.

As I still concede to using Facebook, I have decided to install a Chrome shortcut to mbasic.facebook.com. It does everything I need without tons of scripting, doesn't optimistically download content, and loads fast when my bandwidth is reduced. It never notifies me, and that's a good thing. Without infinite scrolling, I'm less likely to waste time.

Maybe I'll decide to ditch Facebook entirely, but for now, using mbasic has been a healthier alternative.

My 4g LTE bandwidth seems to last longer, too.

With HTTPS and a mobile connection, I can't see why I would need a VPN for Facebook.
