    This is why you use Firefox that keeps the cookie jars separate (by default, AFAIK). That should prevent this specific implementation, shouldn't it?

      There are other ways to track. Containers offer a bit mote protection, but the IP address is still visible (unless VPN).

        Containers don’t offer a benefit over normal browsing for this, Firefox already blocks and isolates third party cookies.

          Caching is also a tracking signal.

            Caches are also isolated. One of the reasons you shouldn't use a JavaScript CDN any more.

              I assume you mean a public CDN, like code.jquery.com. There’s still reasons to serve JavaScript from your own CDN, like code splitting and serving the bundles closer to the user.
