Facebook Container

Brave Feature Requests
1

Please add a tool similar (or better than) the Facebook Container plugin I use in Firefox. (Works by isolating your Facebook identity into a separate container that makes it harder for Facebook to track your visits to other websites with third-party cookies.)

It would be really nice and usefull. It’s one of the primary reasons that keeps me using Firefox along with Brave

Not just a Facebook container. A container function in general, like what we have in Firefox is much needed.
I know that brave handles privacy very well, but my usecase is different.
I work with data and often have more than one Microsoft accounts open at the same time.
Personal, Customer 1 and Customer 2 in a container for each. The same goes for Google accounts.

Please add this, and I will use Brave even more.

Ha yes I was about to write a similar question. As much as I think the Brave browser is a wonderful product, I must say that after using Firefox with the containers again for a few days it’s a much better user experience than having different identities in Brave which all require their own instance.

how about instead of Facebook Container
 Why don’t they make it for every site, but In fire fox I have had one issue it some times loads pages slower or not at all.

Hello, my brother told me about the Brave Browser. But without a Container it is not the right browser for me. It would be nice when you make an extension for this :slight_smile: Your Idea to deal with the ad is very cool.

Well said. We need containers across all websites

Having a native container functionality (ie: not an extension) is vital for privacy, which is a part of the spirt of Brave. So I second and third the suggestion and ask that this become a priority.

Facebook is one of the pernicious abusers of people’s content, but they are not alone. It’s time to implement more tools like containers to help us fight back and protect ourselves.

I thought about this a few weeks ago as well. I also was not able to find a similar addon for chrome.

Brave doesn’t need this. The browser already blocks any trackers by Facebook. See here: https://www.reddit.com/r/brave_browser/comments/g97gqg/does_brave_dohave_something_similar_to_the/

You know, ironically, I saw a Facebook tracker under this particular page of the forum

However, if you need a container for a different usecase, then there is a Chrome extension already made for this one: SessionBox and Switch Multi-Login.

Or if you really, really need a real container for Brave. You can make a similiar functionality by using profile:

  1. Create a new profile called “Google”, and another profile called “Microsoft”.
  2. Switch profile quickly by clicking the profile picture beside the extension list button in the toolbar, and choose “Google” or “Microsoft”.
  3. ???
  4. Profit

In that way, you can visit “Google” profile incase if you want to go to your Google account, and visit “Microsoft” profile incase if you want to go to your Microsoft account.

The only disadvantages I know about this is: you cannot combine the profile tab, only seperate them in window, and you cannot share extension between multiple profile.

To be more specific, what is it that a Container would do that a Profile doesn’t already cover? How would the interface for Containers differ from the current interface from Profiles? Those questions help underline what functionality is currently missing.

Right now, I have 4 profiles, one for work, one for personal use, one for Spotify (Widevine), and one for Atlassian (it was giving me trouble on my work profile). I use these profiles to break apart my identities on the net into separated branches of cookies/trackers/etc.

How could my experience be improved through a new interface with Containers?

I would never say you’re a bot, but you certainly sound like one.
Facebook is beyond toxic and has crossed the border into evil.
It’s “SUPER COOKIE” SPYWARE has stolen data and monitored people’s systems even on computers that belong to those who don’t even own a facebook account, AND, has done the same to those who own an account but are logged off, and don’t even have their site open in a tab.
Facebook should be regulated and fined out of existence, not added to a browser dedicated to security.
HARD PASS
