So you, a user, became aware of *just* how shitty FB& #39;s "browser" is because, as a woke user, you care. Lets say you installed a more privacy-preserving browser (Brave or FF, e.g.) and want it to handle *all* of your browsing...how hard is it to get that to happen? LET& #39;S LOOK

So, you go to "settings" and then start to search for terms that might match...
You scroll...and scroll..."Apps and Websites" sounds like that might be it!

Every single thing about this is intentional. Each of these choices was wordsmithed and perhaps even A/A-A/B tested. Nothing about how hard this is can be an accident.
A product manager *absolutely* signed-off on these strings. They& #39;re unsearchable & unfindable + the behavior is unprompted/unconfirmed at sign-in, not because someone was "evil". Probably "just" a blindspot.
