So I bought a rather sensitive item outside of FB on a retailers' webpage. Thought using private browsing was enough (I always do even for trivial stuff).
Now, somehow FB tracked me, found a similar item in FB Marketplace and shows me it in the main app menu as a suggestion next to Marketplace option. Like in this image, but the white Marketplace panel also has a thumbnail: https://brayve.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/echo/fb_menu_revamp2.png [1]
I deleted all the stuff from ad preferences, "activity outside FB", turned it off completely. I long-pressed the thumbnail and asked FB not to show it anymore, but it persists.
Does the HN crowd know how to disable this crap if asking FB not to show it doesn't cut it? Now I can't open FB in the public... :/
[1] Won't post my own screenshot, because image censorship is easy to screw up, I couldn't find a screenshot with such thumbnail on the web.
