I've been switching to Firefox for private use a year ago, but overall I find it not good. Weird bugs, usability issues, dev tools not that great, etc. And privacy-wise, the defaults don't seem great either. There was something about containers that are supposed to prevent tracking between different domains, but if you actively have to create containers rather than them being automatically applied on each domain, then that's not much use since it makes things cumbersome to use.

- mschuetz 6y agoThis is not something that should require a plugin. Each plugin is an additional source I need to trust.
- jedberg 6y agoThe reason it is a plugin is because it's really complicated and confusing. Even as someone who has a deep understanding of web protocols I get tripped up by temporary containers sometimes when things don't work quite right. Firefox built the core container technology, which drives their built in Facebook container (isolating Facebook from everything else). But isolating everything has a lot of weird edge cases, and I can't blame them for not supporting it out of the box.
