FYI, it's very NSFW in the back-end. Your browser is sending requests to obvious porn servers when you hit this link so it can test if you're logged in to them.
In Chrome: Settings > Privacy > Content Settings > Tick 'Block third-party cookies and site data' Also set 'Send a "Do Not Track" request with your browsing traffic' And install uBlock Origin, ofc.
As somebody who tried to build code respecting "Do Not Track" preferences, I have to say that feature, while well-intended, is a complete farce. Chrome, Safari, Firefox, IE9, IE10, and IE11 all use different APIs for Do Not Track [1], so a front-end developer has to do a lot of extra leg work to check if the user has the preference set. I find it highly unlikely that most companies would go through the effort of resp…
This is why I use 'browser isolation', which is a way to separate different types of surfing activity into different buckets. Currently the best way to do this in Firefox is to create multiple profiles, or in Chrome, you can simply add a different user/persona. Having one profile, or even an entire dedicated browser just for Twitter/FB ensures the login is not spilled over into other sites. If you're surfing the web…

Indeed. Another trick is to change or settle for one very common user-agent across all browsers, and to run them with differently sized windows.
At this point you may as well just go full rms and use wget to download pages which you then read offline.

Corporate IT admins, care to comment here? If you see a single connection to youporn, do alarm bells go off?

What I really want is something like this and it opening containers automatically based on url sets. So going to facebook would go to the facebook set automatically and isolate facebook. But I don't have to manually open the "facebook profile" to do the switch. Same with twitter, amazon, google*, youtube, apple, etc. If you have multiple accounts, you can have the interface pop up a "choose your subcontainer" automat…
and deny other containers from embedding facebook urls?
On the other side, it doesn't detect Facebook. Only got Twitter right.

Yep I also clicked first. It might need an "NSFW" tag in the title to warn other users. (Let's see how long it takes for Corporate IT to come yell at us)
Well, on the bright side I'll be able to see if our IT guy actually logs this stuff. It'll be fun explaining it.
