I don't use Facebook. Incidentally, I adblocked "facebook.com" the other day, and a lot of sites load much faster now. In three days, the rule has been hit over 1300 times!

The key is to allow FB's CDN when on FB, but to disallow it and everything else when not on FB.

Is it too short? Or not insightful enough? Or.. do you disagree with his opinion?
From an ad-blocking perspective, the Google AJAX Libraries CDN and the rest of Google's properties are in no way related. The Google API, Libraries CDN, and supporting documentation is the only thing on the googleapis.com domain.
