From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can use the 'Firefox Multi-Account Containers' extension for Firefox and create a container for Zoom.
That is no longer necessary with Dynamic State Partitioning. Every top level domain is automatically given its own container, essentially. The extension is really only useful for logging into sites on two accounts simultaneously.
Is this for real? So I shouldn't be worried about using certain websites that they'll track me around?
Sort of. There are still tricks that can be used like redirecting between sites to "sync" their states. Container tabs can still be useful because if they do this then the sites will all be "fresh" to that container and not shared between websites. But for the most part yes, different sites have limited ability to track you other than things like fingerprinting and IP address.
Is there any good explanation of this somewhere?
