    i’ve already done the browser stuff you recommended leveraging container tabs on firefox.

    but it doesn’t seem matter: i recently discovered a facebook account that i forgotten i had created 15ish years ago tied to a secondary gmail account that i don’t use anywhere besides firefox in private mode a dozen or so times per year at the most on a vpn. while using that facebook account, i got an event reminder for a party that i bought a ticket to a few weeks back using my somewhat recently created proton email address along with an almost equally recent debit card & bank account that i opened a few months ago.

    it makes me think that server side tracking is now more effective than anything you can do at your end.

      You got container tabs to consistently work? Every time I use them they get reset to the default 4. Right now I’m using brave with multiple profiles. I block all of youtube’s ads out of spite now

        the container tabs will disappear when i uninstall/reinstall firefox, but i have firefox setup to delete all out browsing data every time i open & close tabs & firefox itself so i’ve become dependent on the container tabs to store my login sessions for the worrisome sites that i use.
