Whenever I see a link to a website I suspect of siphoning off all my data (usually news websites), I right-click it and select "Open in new Trash Container". Do my thing, then close the tab, and all cookies and such for that site are cleared. It's almost like a Firefox Focus tab, the main difference being that it's not discernable from a regular tab.

- wasdfff 7y agoTried that for a month and I couldn’t stand it. When you open a link that opens in a new container, you loose the history that brought you to that link. Clicking a link actually opens a new tab and simultaneously closes your current one. Going backwards is now broken and you have to shift cmd t to go through all your recently closed tabs or dig through your history if you are a user who regularly uses back on a browser. I also ran into a bug where infinite temporary containers would open until the browser finally crashed. The fix was removing the add on. Great idea, sloppy implementation.
- floatboth 7y ago> Clicking a link actually opens a new tab I don't have that enabled, even ctrl-clicking something opens in the same container for me. Not perfect in terms of privacy paranoia (my HN container gets cookies from sites I go from HN to, unless I take the effort to explicitly open in a different container) but it has never annoyed me.
