Personally, I uninstalled the Facebook app but kept the Messenger app (with disabled chat bubble).<p>Works good enough for me. I browser Facebook on the browser when needed (never) and use Messenger for chat alerts.<p>On desktop, I use <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;messengerfordesktop.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;messengerfordesktop.com&#x2F;</a> to avoid going on the Facebook website.<p>I also use custom CSS on the Facebook website to break some of it&#x27;s linearity. This make it less likely that I will browse mindlessly. Facebook UI is designed as a precise drug and simply changing it a little bit will disrupt that. (I use a red UI, a noisy background, bigger fonts, etc.)
