How in the world do you get this to work with subdomains in the general case? How do I just say "open all [sub]domains under example.com in their own container, end of story"?

#82Can't this be easily bypassed by Facebook? Given the amount of information usable to fingerprint browsers with JS enabled can't FB do some basic tricks like IP + WebRTC local IP + WebGL fingerprint + Canvas Fingerprint , etc...?
Re: Facebook Container for Firefox
#83can someone explain why this is necessary? shouldn't anything that happens outside of any site stay outside that site, why a special extension just for facebook?

#84Stop "containing" Facebook, just quit it. These workarounds are just keeping you from facing the real problem: the time and mental effort spend on Facebook.
Quitting Facebook doesn't solve the problem that containing it solves.

Any problems? For example, CDNs are in different domains. Some ecommerce sites use payment services from other domains.
Things will break like logging in with Google/Facebook/other OAuths that use popup window redirects, iframe services like Disqus or Facebook comments, Google's captcha will become more annoying, less local caching will happen which means slower browsing in general.
When you say login would break, what do you mean? Just that it would be less convenient, i.e. you have to login to your identity provider once for each first party? Or are you suggesting that the redirect flow for OpenID Connect or oauth wouldn't work at all?

Yeah, their fingerprinting would be incredibly well trained, and I imagine would work perfectly well on sparser data.

#87We're going from cold war to all-in. Not just a privacy question. Reddit nags me every time I hit the front page, even returning from a story, asking me to log in. For most sites I need to create ublock filters to prevent pop-ups with useless "we use cookies", subscription requests, ads or social media bars that fills half the screen, etc. etc. etc. Every newspaper I read has decided that autostarting video and strea…
until you mentioned this I forgot reddit started doing this. at one point, I wasn't even given the option to dismiss the login modal. I had to either login or not use reddit.
these ublock origin rules ended that:

Wouldn't surprise me; Perhaps containers could be extended to spoof/fuzz some of this data when then the site requests it? OTOH, if this blocks the tracking done by facebook's like buttons/forums by preventing their loading outside the container, then I don't think there's anything for FB to go off.

You can be logged into multiple Google Accounts at the same time without the extension. Just click the little profile icon in the top right and click "Add Account." I'm logged into four, including a Gapps account.
Have they fixed the issues though where some of their apps only work with the primary account you're logged in with? (e.g. the first one)
