I'd strongly suggest people create separate users in the browser, one for daily, one for Google, one for Facebook.

This way in my regular browsing there's no Facebook or Google cookies reporting on what websites I visit.

It's really easy and doesn't impact at all on workflow, if you want your Gmail you just click the user button, and click Google. You could even set that user's homepage to Gmail.

Same browser and connection means those multiple accounts most likely share more than enough of a fingerprint to beprobabilistically joined together.

True, I think it's almost impossible to be really anonymous without something like Tor, and I suspect not even then

But if you want to be signed out of fb and goog in your regular browsing, I think it's the way to go

That and I hear Firefox has a Facebook container, which is probably the same approach
