Now, I'm sure my setup isn't for everyone, since now it matters how you arrived at a particular site, which is probably confusing if you don't expect it (there can be any number of sessions for any particular domain). That way, even if I click a link on a site where I'm logged in, the target gets a new session and any cross-site tracking will have a harder time linking the two visits. I've got it set up to create temporary containers with an empty session whenever I follow a link to a different domain (besides a few sites that automatically get assigned to their own permanent containers), which seems impossible with Chrome currently. This is only one part of the setup I currently have in Firefox. I quickly tried and failed to find something equivalent to the "Temporary Containers" Firefox extension, so it seems manual action is required to switch profiles. So the basic ability to separate sessions is there. Unfortunately there aren't that many folks who genuinely care about that stuff - And even among those who do, when you spend all day logged into Facebook, Google/Gmail, O365/MS/Github, Facebook, and so forth, what privacy are you protecting any more? from an end-user's perspective, all Firefox really has going for it is "better privacy". Today however, the default platform browsers (Chrome, MS Chrome, and Safari) are more or less equivalent feature-wise, and Firefox continues to lack not only a default browser advantage, but also doesn't control any common So yes.
Back in the day, that was an easy choice to make, as its competition (mainly MSIE) was so awful that Firefox was objectively better in every respect, even for non-technically-inclined "to use the internet click on the E icon" folks. Everyone installing it had to make an explicit choice to do so.
And that's because in a certain way it is, just one step removed, because Google remains far and above Mozilla's primary sugar daddy.įirefox never had the advantage of being the default browser on most platforms. When you get to the point where you have to say Firefox's primary advantage is that "it's not Google's Chrome," there's a real problem.
