Firefox (and the Gecko rendering engine) is actually the only real alternative to Chrome these days. Because while you do have a few alternatives in Edge, Brave, Opera and Safari they are all using the same rendering engine (Blink) as Chrome under the hood. For that reason Firefox is more important than ever. (Technically Safari is using a different rendering engine, WebKit, but that essentially an old version of Blink.)

kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5LXeq2nrKdlmqM Christ died for your sins and rose on the third day, showing that anyone who trusts in him for salvation, will have everlasting life. (John 11:25-26) "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" (John 3:16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Containers don't do THAT much. Unless you run them as isolated profiles alltogether. What counts is baton passing (fingerprinting). Firefox sucks at that. What you really need is browser isolation. The container addon on Firefox hardly does anything. But, Firefox hides something more invasive. A really sneaky piece of s;;;t software. That's MITI. It's one of the reasons Brave browser was created.

Thanks again for an informative video.

You can think of containers almost as being different Firefox profiles - scripts in one container don't have access to data in other containers. Not sure what kind of threat you're imagining, but just using containers at all is an improvement, even if used poorly.

LibreWolf beats Brave at privacy and ads. I use to only use firefox until they went political along with several others, even Reddit came out saying some crazy stuff. So crazy how so many open platforms are starting to silence people. Driving normal people to go darker in Open Source products. I don't want the company's tracking how I live so they can figure out how to convince me to buy their products. I struggle with my will power on Amazon already.

Thanks for another great video. As you can see, the DoH is routing all DNS requests through Cloudflare, which means they still have visibility into your DNS activity. However, local ISPs are blind to these requests. (I know you mentioned that is a whole topic by it self).

Hey Jason, containers are significantly better at compartmentalization. In the context of a given container, all (first and third-party) cookies and data only apply to the container.

Firefox is a privacy nightmare. The settings you check in the menu to ensure said privacy don't actually do what they're supposed to. Take fingerprinting for example even if you check strict tracking protection on the desktop version go to about:config and look for privacy.resistfingerprint it will be set to false...soooooo......... As of 8/27/20 they have eliminated the about:config for the mobile version which basically eliminates privacy and being non monetized. Other privacy issues such as indicating in the settings you don't want autocomplete/search suggestions as you type is ignored (turn it off and try typing amaz it will auto complete to amazon.com), the push for you to add everything to top sites or home page and to sync your tabs all while burying addons under several layers of menus. And it's ugly. They've turned private browsing to the same purple as TOR to try to mislead users into associating it with TOR, among a whole host of other d!@k moves. Make no mistake they are out to monetize you, your privacy is the last thing on their list.

Feel you... but what better options do we have? Mitigating browser security vulnerabilities requires a huge amount of resources. Btw, Firefox on iOS is essentially WebKit... so I would avoid it for privacy. Actually, I would avoid smartphones in general for privacy. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/inKziqFse6hoqpo.

Personally, I don't bother with deleting history/cookies because it also disconnects me from several websites I use on a regular basis. For example, every time I close my browser and re-open it to check my Gmail account, I have to open my password manager, put in the credentials of said account, go and grab my phone, input the SMS code I just received (2-step verification), and then I can log in. I have to do this through different websites, every time history/cookies are deleted. I'm used to closing my browser on a regular basis (because sometimes I'm gaming and I want minimal stuff in the background hogging resources) and this can become a veritable pain in the rear to do all the time. So if you're like me, leave these two options alone unless you're in an unsafe location or need to share your device with someone else.
