Apart from signing into multiple accounts or isolating pages under the same domain, is there any advantage to using Firefox containers from a security standpoint or do you think that Total Cookie Protection is sufficient for most use cases / threat models?

Nowadays cookies are becoming obsolete in the fingerprint process (of the users) then the major utility of containers will become obsolete too, in my opinion.
What is the new cool boy of the tracking systems?
cookies are just a tiny fraction of the whole picture of fingerprint process. The ad companies use your browser agent, IP address, cookies, Canvas, timezone screen size and many others pieces to create a unique identifier that match almost exclusively to you. It’s pretty scary. But the new cool boy of course will be WEI.
This is pretty scary. A cross-app method that uses manufacturing imperfections in RAM.
Damn. Does using a VM affect this process?
The enshittification will continue and you will like it - tech company attitudes
