How do I make it so that all redirecting links open in my browser without automatically logging in to my existing accounts? - eviltoast

I am new to Librewolf and downloaded Multi Account Containers addon along with libredirect, skip redirect and ublock origin. I am currently signed in a container with a Google account and set the URL to always open in that container. However I do not want to allow any Google-affiliated redirecting links to automatically open within that container and sign me in with that account, letting Google know what I had been browsing or searching for even when I would not want them to. This issue is restricting me from making Librewolf my default browser.

How do I make it so that all these links, whether clicked on from somewhere within the browser or an external application, open in a separate container or without a container or in a private window, if possible?

    Browser fingerprinting fingerprints a browser, not a user, not a computer.

    But how much of the fingerprint data comes from stuff that’s common across browsers? Do the EFF test in a completely different browser and see how much will be the same in Chrome vs Firefox vs Librewolf for example.

      That’s a good point and it’s always worth testing any setup you have.

      My mullvad browser passes the fingerprint.com test with flying colors, it doesn’t share system fonts and the like. That plus a VPN would make it really hard to say the librewolf browser and tbe mullvsd browser belong to the same person.

      I still think there’s value in using separate browsers for the scenario the original poster outlayed
