In addition, the proliferation of Like buttons endangers your privacy, allowing Facebook and other companies to follow you wherever you go. Your social media presence becomes even more complicated if you use more than one account, for example, one for business and one for private activities. Providers generally do not support seamless switching between the different accounts.
The desire for more systematic control of social media accounts and web applications has given rise to a new class of desktop tools that offer unified management of web applications through a single user interface.
