LibreWolf doesn’t open tabs in containers, but it is kind of hard coded to never save cookies, passwords, trackers. Every time you close and open browser, it is like to open a freshly installed browser on a freshly installed OS.

My gripe on a browser is I want one that whe. I click a link it’s opened in a container by default so it can’t scoop up all my cookies and browsing history.
Right now my flow is Firefox focus as default browser, then if it’s a page I want to view later or keep open I share it to Firefox. Kind of annoying but ideally I have this in just one browser.
And as I write this and checked, Firefox for Android now does this lol. Vivaldi, the one recommended in the article does not. Not to mention I try and support something that is not chrome-based. We need alternatives

Now all it needs to do is randomize your fingerprint.
because your fingerprint can be just as, if not more identifiable and trackable, than your cookies and such.

Random fingerprint is trackable. If fingerprint is the same as other users then they can’t track you

This is a case in which you want to blend in with the crowd of sheep. Being unique l, randomizing, let’s them single you out.

quite fortunately it’s not at all hardcoded. there’s a setting for it on the librewolf-specific settings page

Floorp, a Firefox fork, containerizes also. Floorp does it in the same manner, meaning you create the containers and assign sites, and only after that does that site automatically get containerized. I do something similar to what you’re doing, but it’s between Firefox and Floorp. I wish they’d start containerizing sites by default, but for now this is what I do.

afaik strict tracking protection has been doing that for long

Huh, I was just writing that I wished Firefox would do this, so thanks! I’ll check it out. Much appreciated.

well those are really not supposed to be happening, weird

Yeah, I wouldn’t worry about the safety of the extension, though. I have a lot of extensions going already, and this is not the first one to go bonkers as a later addition. So chances are excellent it will work for others just fine.

Yup, and it is working quite well.
I’m happily using it; just a tad annoying to remember to open certain links in specific containers or else you are blocked from their firewall.
