    It also blocks network requests made by third-party sites to FB. So unless you're already running ETP with the content blocker on (strict mode, private browsing mode) or another ad…

    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…

    Right, Total Cookie Protection has been baking for a while to try to minimize that kind of breakage, and we're already in discussions with other browser vendors and companies to ge…

    Total Cookie Protection is already on by default in private browsing mode, or strict ETP. Also Firefox Focus on Android. It's being rolled out to everyone in the standard ETP mode …

    To be precise, it's third party cookie/storage partitioning, with web compatibility fixes to keep sites working.

    Yes, you can follow the meta-bug here to see the current issues we're working on resolving in a better way: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1537702 Perhaps unsurprisin…

    It depends on the specific third party login service. Some rely on third party storage-sharing, and there are web compatibility measures built into Total Cookie Protection to allow…

    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 …

    Firefox already has Total Cookie Protection and other features like SmartBlock, which aren't exactly the same, but also work to block third party web-storage access while keeping w…

    The latter. This isn't about freedoms or who is better than who. It's about being part of the change you want to see, versus dragging everything down with endless negativity. I'm n…

    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…

    Sure, keep telling yourself that you're the real hero. If folks like you really meant make a positive difference, you would have by now. Instead you endlessly try to take credit fo…

    Yet if all you ever do is talk about how sucky it is, then you're effectively just part of the PR wings of Firefox's competition.

    Does Linux also happen to control a major piece of hardware pretty much everyone uses, and used it to force BSD to adopt some new driver system they wanted to prioritize, which end…

    It's not that you're being a downer, you're just not presenting things in a fair or accurate manner. Google didn't merely "ship a feature someone else didn't". They keep shipping n…

    Oh come on. Google is never going to have an incentive to do better if we just excuse them for their bad behaviour, especially in cases like this where claiming any equivalence is …

    Ah yes, the old "it's not my job" excuse. Then why are you here acting like an authority on this stuff, when you very clearly don't have the slightest clue? I mean, is your actual …

    Ok, so the answer is clearly that you don't care. For ten years now we've been watching non-Chromium browser engines die off while complaining about this, with no new one able to r…

    As someone working at Mozilla on web compatibility, I'm tired of people excusing Google like this. I personally spend most of my time figuring out the Chrome-specific quirks that p…

    To be fair, the same could be said of a browser fork.

    There is nothing repetitive about the approaches of the last few Mozilla CEOs. They did not simply steer the same course as their predecessors. I'm not even sure where this idea co…
