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?

This is pretty scary. A cross-app method that uses manufacturing imperfections in RAM.

But that would be illegal (at least in Europe), as user must agrees om being tracked

The enshittification will continue and you will like it - tech company attitudes

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.
