I'm not sure if it offers any stricter cookie-specific behavior, but it also blocks network requests Facebook makes on third party pages. So unless you're running in ETP strict/cus…

Facebook Container is a stricter form of protection for Facebook specifically, so no, you should continue using it if you're interested in isolating Facebook. Total Cookie Protecti…

Just FYI, Firefox is working on Total Cookie Protection and other features like SmartBlock to keep third party storage access blocked while not breaking web pages. It's definitely …

I would only like a bit more than the endless negativity, that's all. If you can't even offer that much, then why would I ever expect anything more? It's easy to blame others and e…
