My gripe on a browser is I want one that whe. I click a link it’s opened in a container by default so it can’t scoop up all my cookies and browsing history.
Right now my flow is Firefox focus as default browser, then if it’s a page I want to view later or keep open I share it to Firefox. Kind of annoying but ideally I have this in just one browser.
And as I write this and checked, Firefox for Android now does this lol. Vivaldi, the one recommended in the article does not. Not to mention I try and support something that is not chrome-based. We need alternatives

Huh, I was just writing that I wished Firefox would do this, so thanks! I’ll check it out. Much appreciated.
EDITED to add: unfortunately it’s not for me. I tried it out in automatic mode (recommended) and while it worked perfectly, as soon as I enabled it my browser started to get unstable, pages would lock, mouse pointer would disappear, etc. And then as soon as I disabled the extension all went back to normal. So it’s a no-go for now. But thanks for letting us know it’s there.
LibreWolf doesn’t open tabs in containers, but it is kind of hard coded to never save cookies, passwords, trackers. Every time you close and open browser, it is like to open a freshly installed browser on a freshly installed OS.
Now all it needs to do is randomize your fingerprint.
because your fingerprint can be just as, if not more identifiable and trackable, than your cookies and such.
This is a case in which you want to blend in with the crowd of sheep. Being unique l, randomizing, let’s them single you out.
Random fingerprint is trackable. If fingerprint is the same as other users then they can’t track you
