You know how cookies are a big deal and how every website keeps asking you to accept their cookies? Now you know why...it's not a conspiracy, it's just how the internet works.
So I may try out Firefox's sandboxing capabilities. That should take care of cookies, but I am not sure about fingerprinting.
Firefox has anti fingerprinting too. It's in settings where you set your tracking protection. I think you have to choose custom and it's there.
I'll look into it, thank you!
It's how the web works, but you can absolutely block third party cookies. Firefox helps A LOT just with its default tracking protection.
