How secure is multi-account-containers?
Hello privacyguides. I have a question: Talking strictly about security, how would you rate multi-account-containers for compartmentalizing internet activity? By compartmentalizing, I mean if, for example, I click on link "xyz" on container "a", and this link is somehow capable of accessing account "b" and compromise it. Except I have this account "b" logged in another container. Would the website be able to compromise the account? I know zero-days exist, but in a typical situation, would this extension improve security in this example or not? Thanks in advance for your time and any answers!

It’s a cool concept in the sense that it obfuscates the user by filling the advertising algorithm with garbage so that profiling supposedly becomes more difficult. I don’t use it as I don’t need this feature and just want to block ads (uBlock Origin is the best content-blocker right now), but if you want the features, you can use it.

A plus is that it is also based on uBlock Origin


I found someone on 4chan that wouldn’t stop announcing this engine on /g/, most likely the owner as well. And seeing that the name is 4get, it probably started there


I use a website called tosdr.org

They have things to say about MEGA. I never used MEGA so I can’t say for myself but have a look and get your own conclusions
