If you wish to update your Facebook pages and groups, you must first refresh your profile because they cannot be refreshed individually.

While refreshing your Facebook page keeps you updated on the most recent postings and news, it can also lead to security risks. 

Malicious website trackers can hide beneath the surface, watching your browser activities and potentially stealing sensitive information such as login passwords or browsing history. This is where privacy solutions like PurePrivacy may help.
