Remember Facebook probably tracks your IP address and user-agent anyway, I'd be skeptical that Facebook doesn't put two and two together.

- Macha 9y agoAfter using containers to isolate my Google activity in a similar fashion, I can confirm Google at least does. I see recommendations to watch other videos from the same channels I watch on YouTube in my Google container if I end up on YouTube in my normal browsing container.
- newscracker 9y agoAre you logged out of (or never logged in to) any of the Google properties/platforms in these two modes? If yes, then Google's behavior here doesn't match user expectations and is tainted.
- Macha 9y agoYes, I've never logged into Google anything in the default container.
- walterbell 9y agoNow we need per-container VPN/proxy.
- bluGill 9y agoThere is one silver lining in carrier grade NAT. combine that and all facebook ends up with is you are one of a few hundred firefox users in some geographical area.
- beager 9y agoNot necessarily! Other fingerprinting details can surface identity even when user agent and IP are unreliable. If you've got a specific screen resolution, you're tagged. If you've got a specific version of some piece of software (Flash, for instance) you're tagged.
- lalos 9y agoI believe also fonts installed. EFF has a great tool regarding fingerprinting https://panopticlick.eff.org https://panopticlick.eff.org
- ClassyJacket 9y agoNot true Everything down to the fonts you have installed can be used to track you https://amiunique.org https://amiunique.org
- idunno246 9y agomore than that, theres a bunch of sites that buy your email address/phone number from companies, which then provide matching across browsers/devices/containers/etc which they sell to others. All you need to do is log into one on each and the cookies get linked and they know its the same person.
