Facebook Container is a Firefox browser extension by Mozilla that isolates Facebook activity into a dedicated container tab. It prevents Facebook from tracking your browsing on other websites by deleting tracking cookies and keeping Facebook sessions sandboxed.
Use cases
- prevent facebook from tracking me on other websites
- block facebook third-party cookies in firefox
- use facebook without being followed around the web
- isolate facebook login into a separate browser container
- stop facebook like buttons and embedded comments from tracking me
- protect browsing history from being linked to my facebook identity
When to choose
- you use Firefox and want to keep using Facebook while limiting cross-site tracking
- you want a simple, Mozilla-maintained privacy add-on with no configuration needed
- you don't rely on Facebook login or embedded Facebook features on other sites
When to avoid
- you need 'Log in with Facebook' or Facebook comments on third-party websites
- you use a browser other than Firefox
- you expect protection from Facebook's handling of data you share directly on facebook.com
