Just works - even when browsers dont

I’ve run into a problem ever since FB updated their SSL certificate system and tried to make it backward compatible. All browsers are reporting SSL errors. Only Firefox provides any useful information - SSL header too long. Probably the rigging FB does to make their newer SSL cert backward compatible doesn’t fit into the size of an SSL handshake my Mac is looking for. I’m not sure if it’s related to IPV6 or not, but that’s a possibility.

The app “Go for Facebook” just works and provides all the needed functionality even when all other browsers are breaking (Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari). I have had no issues whatsoever with the app and find it handy to have in the menu bar just a click away. I don’t really hang out in FB all that much, but it’s just a click away. The (default) option to hide FB ads is a very nice touch too. Right-click the icon and go to Preferences to look at the variety of options including autocorrect (default OFF).

While the app may lag behind the website in terms of features, for what I use it the app works well. I like the ability for it to hide when I click into another window (or leave it open) and the one-click access makes it very easy to use. I don’t live in Facebook like many of FBs users, but the experience in the app is actually better than the website for me.
