Browser Account isolation (with seperate browsers)

There are a million better ways to compartmentalise your accounts that don’t involve installing Google Chrome in the first place or using a browser that goes so hard on degoogle that it breaks security (yes, ungoogled chromium bad, actually). Here is a non-exhaustive list:

  • Firefox containers
  • Using two different privacy-oriented browsers, e.g., Firefox + Librewolf, Brave + Firefox
  • Using separate devices

As for the “confuse the trackers” hypothesis, long story short: no.

Slighly longer answer: suggesting “confusing the trackers” as a viable strategy shows a poor understanding of how fingerprinting works and what it’s based on
