Personally, I find that this [0] doesn't break many sites at all, but messes with cookies to an appreciable extent. Combine this to an extensive use of that [1] and clearing your cache and cookies every day, and I think you're in decent shape while some heavy and heavily lobbied government body inches towards doing something about it.

I went a step further and installed Temporary Containers. Unless the domain is a special one (and goes in a long-lived container), a new tab cannot share any content with other tabs. Whenever the tab is closed all site-related content is removed. It's still a bit wonky because some sites do redirections, and it's not properly caught (unless there's some option I missed) The next step is to disable _all_ cookies, even first-party, by default (unless I have a special relationship with the domain of course). It's working surprisingly well and I believe this should be the default.

    I'd assume he considers "having an account" to fall under the clause you snipped: "(unless I have a special relationship with the domain of course)"

  I did this too. Another pain point I've found is when logging into websites with github or other oauth provider requires grouping that website in with the services perminent container.

> clearing your cache and cookies every day A good extension for the cookie part is https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete - it deletes all cookies from a site after you close the tab.
