Facebook Pro

What is Facebook Pro?

Facebook Pro is an app that delivers all of the tools of Facebook, but without using a browser. While the use case can be limited, the app can be used if there are issues with updates on other web browsers.

Facebook, like many sites, are not compatible with all browsers. So while many people move to independent browsers to escape the direct oversight of organizations such as Google or Mozilla, those browsers might not focus their efforts on Facebook compatibility.

On the contrary, some might hate Facebook just as much as users hate the parent companies of the most popular browsers.

Why is any of that relevant? Because it's hard to find systems that work for a specific purpose, and Facebook Pro exists for people who need Facebook tools managed by a specific developer. A niche to be sure, but a niche with passion.

Another important point is viruses and other threats. Viruses are rarely written for a single person, and most malware (malicious software) is generalized for what most people on the internet use.

A lot of viruses are written for web browsers. If you're a few years out of date, you may be thinking of the Microsoft versus Windows versus Linux virus threat discussion, but keep in mind that if casual users are aware of something, hackers know it as ancient news.

Because many people are not aware of browser-specific threats, they browse the web unprotected and make many careless mistakes in the process. With the Facebook App, you're limiting your risks to threats written for all data everywhere--which isn't common--or specifically for the app.

When Facebook Pro is a common, household name popular everywhere, that might be a risk. As of 2023, common malware written for Facebook Pro isn't common.

The other risk is trusting the developer, which is a risk with any software written ever. It's definitely worth looking into the Facebook Pro development team, but be sure to bring that same level of scrutiny for everything else in your life.

You'll soon learn why actual cybersecurity experts, while vigilant, aren't as terrified as unskilled users who had a few virus spooks in their life.

Relax, and go for the streamlined look of the Pro app.

Is Facebook Pro for Everyone?

More people are managing their social media pages not just for personal reasons, but to manage a brand.

This isn't just about corporations, large organizations in need of public outreach, or even small businesses with a brick and mortar (physical building) presence. From models and comedians to self-employed workers who need a personal touch, branding is bigger for more people.

It's a few years since being "on brand" became an overused term, but Facebook Pro is still a vital way to keep your public online presence on a dependable, consistent track for trending, or simply giving information to the visitors who matter the most to you.
