+## Disable social media buttons
+
+Social media buttons track your online browsing activities. Even if you never click one of these buttons, a profile based on your browsing habits can be created and sent to various social network servers. Use Adblock Plus to stop social media sites from tracking your online activity. This means all social media buttons will be hidden.

Maybe in-between here, we should state ´Fanboys Social Blocking List is
displayed´. So, they are not looking at another random list that had already
been installed and they are actively checking that the correct one is there.I
say this on this particular one, as they are not automatically directed to the
settings page in ABP for Firefox.
