Reviews for Facebook Container
Facebook Container by Firefox
Review by madscientist327
Rated 3 out of 5
by madscientist327, 6 years agoHas two annoying bugs which impacts usability.
1. If I happen to navigate to FB from a non-FB page, the extension will close the existing tab and open FB in the container. Before I realized that the previous tab was being closed I couldn't even figure out why the back button no longer worked! This is a huge issue. The easy fix is to just not close the previous tab. Looks like this has been a reported issue since 2018 so not sure this is going to get fixed anytime soon.
2. This extension conflicts with other container extensions derived from it and vice versa. Specifically, two identical tabs will be opened. e.g. when using the FB container extension and the unofficial google container extension, opening google from FB or FB from google will open two identical tabs.
Overall, I really like the idea of this extension though and if these issues were fixed I would be able to give a higher rating.

- Rated 5 out of 5by FUTA Bash, a month agoThis extension is LIT. It compartmentalizes facebook properly. But I would appreciate if all the meta sites like threads, whatsapp, etc. are containerized by default in this extension.

- Rated 5 out of 5by ebayybe, 2 months agoIf you don't like Meta knowing your every move on the internet, this extension is a must-install. It blocks hidden trackers and "Like" buttons scattered all over the web. Now, the social network only sees what happens inside its container, rather than my entire browsing history.
- Rated 2 out of 5by r2_d1000, 3 months agoIt helps to prevent Facebook's tracking (doesn't stop, but helps stop), but it is missing a lot of Facebook URLs. It only has 3 of Facebook's URLs built in, but it is missing the URLs for threads, meta AI, whatsapp, all of the FB help and company pages, and their other projects. There is actually an issue and pull request open for this on their GitHub, but Mozilla seems to be ignoring it, and because of that, I have to take off major points, since they know about it, and someone is fixing it for them, but they still aren't doing anything about it, which is unfortunate.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Jessica Cherry, 4 months agoI've tried several alternatives and this one is by far the best. Straightforward and does the job perfectly.
