Running Catalina. All o a sudden Facebook just doesn't load.

Have cleared history and all cookies. Cleared cache. Mac all updated.
Done a restart. FB works perfectly in Chrome. Any ideas?

You're not alone (not that I have a fb login). Running Safari 11.3 on
macOS 11.3 on my MacBook Air. Just a blank window. Facebook and Apple
aren't getting on too well these days - maybe fb have nobbled Safari
users ;-) OK using FF though.

Just seen mention on Reddit of others with the same issue (& other websites
besides FB). Clearing the cache helped in one instance, but not all.

I wonder if it's intentional from FB side, objecting to Apple's "do not
fucking track our users you scumbags" features by pissing on their own
users.

It¹s not just you: Facebook¹s website and apps are down. We¹re
seeing messages flowing in on social media and the Facebook web
app is currently failing to load. Posts, notifications, and groups

Facebook hasn't loaded properly in Safari for me for several years. I'm
on Mojave.

I use Firefox or Opera and it's fine on those.

Oops! I should have checked. http://fbdevwiki.com/wiki/FB.ui

Apologies for my mistake.
