What is Facebook Container?
This browser extension from Mozilla, called Facebook Container, helps users take more control over their online activity and limit Facebook's ability to track their web browsing. By isolating a user's Facebook identity into a separate "container," the extension makes it harder for Facebook to correlate a user's Facebook activity with their broader web browsing history and other online behaviors
Highlights
- Isolates a user's Facebook identity into a separate browser tab or "container," preventing Facebook from tracking their activity on other websites
- Deletes Facebook cookies and logs the user out of Facebook when the extension is installed
- Loads Facebook in a distinct blue-colored tab, where the user can log in and use the platform normally
- Prevents information sharing when using Facebook's share buttons on other websites, as those actions are confined to the Facebook Container
- Disables embedded Facebook features like comments and Like buttons on non-Facebook websites to avoid data leakage
