Or in other words: What do they want to do? What do they do? And how does it affect you as an end user? To understand the differences, we have to look at the different goals of the two. Of course, these tools also block countless other sites, most of them I don't even know (though I'm sure they know me.)Īre there any benefits for using Facebook Container, or the more general Multi-Account Containers if I'm already blocking these sites?

I am generally concerned about sites tracking my online activity, and I'm already using uBlock Origin with its EasyPrivacy list - which seems to block the Share buttons, cookies, and various other features.

In that tab you can login to Facebook and use it like you normally would. The next time you visit Facebook it will open in a new blue-colored browser tab (aka “container tab”). When you install this extension it will delete your Facebook cookies and log you out of Facebook. This makes it harder for Facebook to track your activity on other websites via third-party cookies.
