* Cleared all cookies for Facebook and Google
* Created a new container called "No tracking"
* Set facebook, gmail, analytics, youtube and all google services other than Search to always open in "No tracking"
Now in theory Facebook and Google can't track me across the web (at least not in a way that it's linked to my real identity), and I don't have to do anything to maintain this.
Anybody see any faults in my logic?
- Storing visits across the web on different sites that use 3rd-party Google/Facebook-hosted services against a shadow session. Google Analytics, Google Maps, Google Web Fonts, Google CDN / JSON APIs, share buttons.
- I presume you don't login with Facebook / Google on any websites? If you do, that would conclusively link the aforementioned shadow session with your actual account.
- Also, there are integrated browser services calling home to Google. Check about:config?filter=google

Edit: For an extra step to mitigate some of the above:
Install either uBlock Origin or uMatrix and painstakingly block all of the above-mentioned 3rd-party origins: analytics, web fonts, share URLs, login APIs, CDNs and JSON APIs. Blocking the last two will break some websites - e.g. Stackoverflow - but you can further mitigate this breakage by installing the Decentraleyes extension.
even if you're splitting your browsing between sessions manually, they still only need to match them once.
