Or what do you use them for? Isn't it now quite easy for websites to track outside of just cookies?

Very useful for splitting up business and personal accounts while keeping both logged in, and I use the separate Google containers addon to reduce usable data Google gleans from me while making it quite impossible for me to sign in to Google outside of a Google site.

    I use the separate Google containers addon

    Can also recommend the separate Facebook container add-on. 👌

    But yeah, containers, definitely useful for work/personal accounts, indeed. I also use one for Finance and one for Shopping, for some reason. I guess it just makes me feel safer.
