Comparison of this extension with Enhanced Tracking Protection (Firefox 67.0.1 and above) #19

I heard cookies are sandboxed now by default, thats why I'm asking.

Yeah, for the normal user I'd recommend using the built-in blocker instead of this extension. The implementation in Firefox Enhanced Tracking Protection is much smoother, as it has heuristics for re-allowing third-party cookies if you have visited the 3rd-party site before with user interaction (e.g., not just through a redirect). This greatly reduces breakage and unintended blocking.

However, first party isolation as implemented in this extension is a ban-hammer style approach that isolates all things. I think this might remain useful for some, but likely not all users.

Thank you for the clarification!
