But let's be practical: if I use th Firefox Google container and all the link I open are just the website I want ro visit, if I'm not logged in any Google service, how can Google monitor me on my PC?

P.s. I also use (along with other) the Cookie Auto Delete plugin.

@peregus @Meho_Nohome If the website is using Google analytics or AdSense you may have to use a adblocker too.

[–] peregus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You're right (and I use it)!

Well, using Cookies Auto Delete, that's not true if the scope is not to get tracked, because even with Google tracker, Google wouldn't know that was me. Maybe with Canvas Blocker too, to protect against fingerprinting.

@peregus Yes difficult to escape fingerprinting. May have to use tor browser or hardened firefox

I use Canvas Blocker and it seems to be doing a pretty decent job
