Facebook used to make it possible to forbid their APIs to access your profile. They dropped that a few months ago, which has been my biggest concern. It seemed a silly thing for Facebook to do. Despite my frequent attempts to encourage people to opt out of the API, I estimated that only between 1 and 2% of my friends list had done so. By removing the option they hardly changed anything but antagonized the tiny fraction of privacy conscious, probably vocal, people.
To (attempt to) prevent linking my Facebook account to my browsing practices I currently block the following in Adblock Plus:
running Facebook in a different browser instance would be another option. Neither fix stops random people from accessing my friends list and potentially other information anonymously and programmatically. This is making me think about ditching Facebook.
