Google is trying to put the web in a cage in the same way they put your devices in a cage (Android, ChromeOS).

There’s one really easy, simple and efficient way to fight them: uninstall Chrome/Chromium, use #firefox

Do it. Now.

– But I prefer Chrome because of…

If you are not ready to sacrifice a little comfort (so little, Firefox is great) to save the web, then you don’t deserve a free web anyway. You are part of those killing it.

Remove Chrome. Install Firefox.

(with adblockers)

@ploum Also, Firefox has containers ❤️
@fenarinarsa @ploum What is this "container" functionality of Firefox??

@xtof @ploum Open tabs with different contexts. Very very very very useful. Also "facebook jail" extension opens all Meta/Facebook sites in a specific "jailed" context from the rest of the web.

Firefox Multi-Account Containers – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

Download Firefox Multi-Account Containers for Firefox. Firefox Multi-Account Containers lets you keep parts of your online life separated into color-coded tabs. Cookies are separated by container, allowing you to use the web with multiple accounts and integrate Mozilla VPN for an extra layer of privacy.

@ploum @fenarinarsa @xtof does that mean it’s harder for Facebook to track your non-Facebook behaviour?

ie when I do a search for “piano keyboards” on my local Music Store website I don’t go to Facebook and end up bombarded with ads for plastic music instruments?

@fenarinarsa @xtof @ploum @theLUCASTDS You can get more info about firefox containers here: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/c…
There is also a container plugin specifically made for isolating Facebook: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef…
Multi-Account Containers | Firefox Help

Add Container tabs to Firefox with the Multi-Account Containers add-on, to separate your work and personal browsing.

@cracrayol

Current versions of Firefox will isolate Facebook and everything else automatically. This is the FPI feature where every first-party site you visit (the one in the Location bar) has its own separate cookie+cache storage. This makes 3rd-party tracking far more difficult.

Containers allow you to explicitly isolate according to your own designations, so that you can look like two different users to the same 1st-party site (ex. if you have 'work' & 'personal' fedi accounts).
