CNet:
I thought the precautions would reduce how much data Facebook gathered about me. Turns out, I was wasting my time.
Even when your account is deactivated, the social network continues collecting data about your online activities. All that data gets sent back to Facebook and is tied to your account while it's in this state of limbo. It's as if you'd changed nothing.
Facebook says it only removes all of your data if you permanently delete your account. Deactivating isn't as extreme, the company says, and the social network continues collecting your data in case you change your mind and want to return to your profile. Facebook expects deactivated users to return and wants to continue serving them ads relevant to their new interests.
In Soviet America, Facebook will deactivate you?

I use only uMatrix.
It has a built in list.
It gives you fine grained control. For example, html / css from this third party site is okay, but not JS or frames.
It makes very clear how many 3rd party sites a single page is bringing in, and what types of things (eg, html, css, js, frames, etc) from those third party sites.
The lower I set my standards the more accomplishments I have.
