Tinfoil for Facebook is for those users that require a Tinfoil Hat when logging in to Facebook. It creates a sandbox for Facebook's mobile site in order to protect your privacy and to avoid them tracking your browsing history.

Requires INTERNET permissions, and if you are skeptic about it, feel free to check the source code here: https://github.com/velazcod/Tinfoil-Facebook

It also requires the "COARSE_LOCATION" permission. This is NOT used UNLESS you enable "Allow Check-ins" on the preferences, otherwise Check-ins won't work. This option is disabled by default.

Latest:
- Icon by simperton (reddit)
- Bugfix: Orientation changes were not being handled properly (Thanks vondruska)
- Allow Check-ins (Optional, only uses coarse location to save battery)
- Handle requests for facebook.com URLs
- Option to open links from inside the app
- Ability to switch what site to open, mobile or desktop (Default is automatic)
- Ability to share links and text from other apps using the default Send/Share intent
- Support for Android 2.1+ (Please test this and let me know, I only tested on emulator)

. Excellent app, love it. It's better than the official version and the improved security is great. But upload pictures doesn't work?

You can't upload pics ?? Uninstall. Htc EVO

Average What's with all the hype for this app? It is exactly the same as the mobile site. How does it increase privacy when you're still browsing on the site?

by Kyle the 11/6/2011

Pure crap. This sandbox thing is crap. If you understood how Android implements WebViews you'd know.

by george the 11/6/2011

Fantastic! IMMEDIATELY uninstalled Facebook for Android & Friendcaster. This app works so much better, great UI, superior. I can't say enough!
