Have been using Ghostery on Safari for quite some time, and I dont see how this Facebook Container can be anywhere close to what Ghostery provides. The number of trackers on any website, is just mind blowing.
I believe Ghostery works with all browsers and I strongly suggest everyone use it, in addition to what ever ad blocker, container, VPN service you intend to use, even if you are using Facebook Container for Firefox.

I do personally recommend uBlock origin as something non disrupting for your average user. Neat URL and Skip Redirect are also nice for skipping tracking redirect urls like out.reddit.com. Decentraleyes is also an interesting project that caches commonly used CDN resources locally. Finally, umatrix and no-script with scripts enabled is in my opinion a good compromise between little breakage while still leaving power users with a lot of control.
- eugeniub 9y agoGhostery has a shady history of selling data it collects on you to advertising companies. The data collection feature was previously called Ghostrank, and now it's called Human Web. I'm not sure what Ghostery does with the data since it got acquired by Cliqz in 2017, but I'd be careful.
