No need for containers add-on in Firefox

[ph00lt0]

Hi Sun,

I see you still recommend multi account containers for Firefox to isolate. I just wanted to let you know there is absolutely no need to use this. Firefox in strict mode now already isolates the data of different sites without any need for add-ons.

Even for the use of multiple containers one doesn't need the extension as a few default containers are actually integrated in Firefox without needing the extension.

Hey, thanks for contributing to the privacy guides.

Can you please add references to docs that support your feedback (not that I do not trust it).

It would allow me and others to quickly explore rabbit hole.

Personally I only use one add-on which is ublock origin. It does a lot more than the privacy badger. Like blocking scanning of localhost, non proxied udp in webrtc etc.

Hello Sun, I was wondering this question myself. Do you have anymore thoughts since ph00lt0 posted this?

Edit: I have since found this post that @ph00lt0 responded to in the mullvad browser github:mullvad/browser-extension#23

@ph00lt0, did the guy who responded to you with this article:
https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/extensions-addons/how-firefoxs-total-cookie-protection-and-container-extensions-work-together/
change your opinion at all?

Also, would you consider FF Facebook Container still useful since apparently Facebook is so bad they had to make a container app specifically for it?
