That’d certainly prevent most tracking, yeah. This new Firefox feature should make #2 and #3 unnecessary.

I think this feature by Firefox is great, and privacy options are getting objectively better, if slowly. But the cynic in me guessing that server side tracking methods are going to start getting secretly better, if they haven’t already.

I didn't mention #4 of also purging all that other stuff when the browser closes.

Honestly, try it with me - it's not so bad. 1, 2, 3, everybody now!

I don't really need to. With the extensions I use, every new tab I open is like a private windows, it has its own isolated environment.

And I can still keep sessions opened where I really need to
