Temporary Containers redundant with TCP / FPI? #1519

Closed stoically closed 1 year ago

stoically commented 2 years ago

Hey, I've noticed that you mention that TC is redundant with TCP / FPI. From my perspective that is not the case. I've written down my thoughts on that here https://github.com/stoically/temporary-containers/wiki/Comparison#total-cookie-protection and I'd be interested if I'm wrong with my claims?

You also mention that "in-session clearing is a false sense of privacy". Generally I agree, however, with TCP and FPI you get long-term storage. While with TCs the storage is gone together with the container, so I feel like that's a distinction that could still be highlighted. Also, personally, I'd say that if the bar is "everything that doesn't give you full privacy is a false sense of privacy" then that rules out everything besides Tor browser still.

Thanks for your efforts and please let me know if you spot inconsistencies in my perspectives.

I'm very sorry! Really no worries, the whole thing is not relevant at all, can't believe it actually started as a nit! It's all love and thank you for your time trying to sort this out. 💟
