#privatewindow — Public Fediverse posts

edit 2026-03-26: actually, after some discussion in the comments, i have been using this extension for quite some time after all and it's become essential for me

edit 2025-10-08: i cannot vouch for the extension i linked and no longer recommend it. when i extract it and look at its background.js, there's a lot of stuff that i can't explain and i am not comfortable with. sigh... but it seems like a good concept.

one of the things that concerns me about private windows / incognito windows is that you only get one session at a time. this is a downgrade from the isolation that firefox-based browsers offer you with container tabs, especially if you have a tracker-licious website open alongside something else in your private session.

Temporary Containers Plus is an interesting idea - with Automatic Mode, you get a new container per tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-containers-plus
