I've been using privacy badger [0] and ublock. Is this containarization still something I need to worry about? [0] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-badge...
yes. containerization allows you to segregate your browsing sessions even when necessary page functionality includes code/assets from entities that would use that inclusion to track. think of it as minimizing your surface area. temporary containers in particular are like a fresh session in every tab.
i combine containers with noscript, ublock, and decentraleyes.

#23Since you can’t use addons with Firefox mobile, how is the browser compared to brave or safari for privacy and ad blocking?
Firefox nightly has a limited addon system. Ublock for example works. https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/09/29/expanded-extensio...
it's in stable now too. noscript is a lifesaver on low-end phones.

You can literally use the two hand in hand. You don't have to use one or the other.
