I use Firefox containers at work but I was postponing doing the same at home because it takes a bit of work to create the containers, assign sites, troubleshoot some minimal issues, etc; and THIS made me finally do it.
I knew that I was being tracked, but that was a bit too "in my face" to ignore it.
- paol 6y agoSame here. Seeing that popup on medium.com with my google login identity was what finally prompted me to start using containers. Now google's domains are safely kept in their little box where they belong. It's funny because there's nothing new about those login popups - I already knew conceptually that kind of thing was possible - but seeing your little avatar picture show up where it doesn't belong provokes a much more direct reaction than abstract knowledge.
- nottorp 6y agoThere's a ready made extension for Google. https://github.com/containers-everywhere/contain-google https://github.com/containers-everywhere/contain-google Installable from the Firefox extension "store".
- ipqk 6y agoI tried to create my own Google container, but could never get it work with Google Drive which caused an endless redirect so I had to give up.
