@Justly0250 @moody two things:
- Firefox has now, without extensions, "total cookie protection" that prevents one website to access another site's cookies (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/introducing-total-cookie-protection-standard-mode), so as far as tracking protection go, no extension needed

- Mutli-Account Containers add another capability: different cookies for the same site in different containers, like being logged to two different accounts on one site in different containers - and that is saved between sessions.

@Moonrise2473 @romu700
sadly, seeing @ firefox on the federated timeline doesn't allow to distinguish it as a Lemmy group, especially for all the people who don't know about it. It appears just any other account, or looking a bit deeper, like any "group" account that diverse technologies allow on the microblogging side of the fediverse.

(Also nothing to guess English is mandatory.)

I guess on the Lemmy side, the fact that the post is from Mastodon microblogging is not very clear neither?

@PeleSpirit you can totally not record history, or delete it automatically every time you close the browser. Also, it isn't sent to anybody, except if you ask to sync it between browser, then it is encrypted, unreadable for anyoone but you and unshared. (Same for bookmarks sync.) You can totally erase bookmarks : open bookmark window, choose them, erase. I don't know how to erase them a automatically when the browser closes. That is because bookmarks are designed to keep between sessions.

@PeleSpirit @DarkThoughts not sure if I understand this correctly, please excuse if what I write is beside the point. History and bookmarks are independent. History records whatever site you visit, according to your settings. Bookmarks are different, they are created only if you take action for each bookmark (like using the star in the URL bar or hitting Ctrl+d). They are easily deleted.

@Daefsdeda @ace you can choose what kind of cookies to accept and reject in the extension's settings.
