@xtof @ploum Open tabs with different contexts. Very very very very useful. Also "facebook jail" extension opens all Meta/Facebook sites in a specific "jailed" context from the rest of the web. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/ 8 comments
 @ronane Unless the website contains facebook trackers¹ telling meta that you requested pages x & y at some date-time, from this broswer on that OS, from IP whatever, and so on… But yes, containers are still useful. 1. Which is illegal in Europe anyway… on so many levels, from exporting Personally Identifiable Information to the USA (Shrems II) to collecting and using said PII data without consent, and no, pre-checked "I accept" checkboxes is not consent… @devnull at least, it prevents trackers from your browser to directly tell Facebook you were there. The backend can still do it though. Am I right? @theLUCASTDS @ploum @fenarinarsa @xtof @ronane Well, trackers are *usually* front-end, so it can be blocked. But yes, back-end trackers exist as well and can't been seen (for GDPR complains) or blocked by users so that's a risk. I'd be suprised if meta doesn't already provide backend trackers to shitty websites that don't care about users rights… But again, containers (in general, not juste meta…) mixed with µBlock are still useful and even required @fenarinarsa @xtof @ploum @theLUCASTDS You can get more info about firefox containers here: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/c…
There is also a container plugin specifically made for isolating Facebook: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef…  @fenarinarsa |

@ploum @fenarinarsa @xtof does that mean it’s harder for Facebook to track your non-Facebook behaviour?
ie when I do a search for “piano keyboards” on my local Music Store website I don’t go to Facebook and end up bombarded with ads for plastic music instruments?
