With over 2.7 billion monthly active users on Facebook, it is not uncommon for users to want to view someone's profile without being friends or having a direct connection. This could be due to various reasons such as curiosity, research, or simply wanting to stay updated on someone's life without being directly linked. However, Facebook's default settings require users to log in to their accounts to view profiles, which can be a deterrent for those who do not have an account or do not want to link with the profile owner.
