Seems like a great time to mention the Firefox Facebook Container add-on!
Pretty sure you don’t need the extension anymore. All cookies are now isolated on a per website basis…

The add-on I linked is written and maintained by Mozilla and was updated as recently as Jul 6 of this year. The blog post you linked to is from 2021. If it wasn't doing something more it seems like Mozilla would be wasting their time. I do admit to being too ignorant about everything it is doing and thats on me, so if anything your post has made me want to know more. Here's the repo where it is being developed: https://github.com/mozilla/contain-facebook
Me too tbh. I used to use the extension but removed it assuming it was no longer required.
I found this issue on the repo which seems to suggest there’s still a benefit to using both…
