Firefox even has its own Facebook container these days.

I recently went to a website which had 250 (!) tracking cookies for marketing purposes... As you might suspect it was ridden with ads.

I don't understand why they don't have the same for Google. The FB container does not only force the facebook and instagram sites into that container, but keep the rest out, and disable buttons on websites that open in other tabs. Google is such an obvious candidate for this, but maybe their relationship with Google comes into play here?

There is, in fact, a Google Container extension:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-contai...

The Google container is less useful than just manually putting your Google session into a container because I would assume you don't want all your searches to go through your logged on session.

250? Geek Tyrant injects 400 just for marketing and 500+ in total!

I stopped recommending them.
