anything *.google.com ?

Yeah, pretty much it.

Is your default container the one with the Google cookies?

I personally haven't found a way to make a container default. I just have a separate container for my Google accounts and other accounts connected to it.

Thankfully I found the solution to my problem by using Temporary Containers

 

I am new to Librewolf and downloaded Multi Account Containers addon along with libredirect, skip redirect and ublock origin. I am currently signed in a container with a Google account and set the URL to always open in that container. However I do not want to allow any Google-affiliated redirecting links to automatically open within that container and sign me in with that account, letting Google know what I had been browsing or searching for even when I would not want them to. This issue is restricting me from making Librewolf my default browser.

How do I make it so that all these links, whether clicked on from somewhere within the browser or an external application, open in a separate container or without a container or in a private window, if possible?

Fixed 'all'. I tried to acknowledge that there may be other languages that may not follow this rule, but I seem to have not noticed this mistake.

Woah, email aliases is the perfect solution for this! Thank you very much!

Also, is there a preferred way to create a Firefox account? I don't want to enter my personal email, and adding a disposable email may lock me from this account if it asks for verification later on.

Yes, I did start using PIped and Invidious on my browser and installed Newpipe in my phone. Tho there are some drawbacks, it is much better than using Youtube directly after I heard about them planning to block adblockers and removing recommendations for signed in users with watch history off.

 

The title would probably be confusing, but I could not make it better than this. I noticed that most programming languages are limited to the alphanumerical set along with the special characters present in a general keyboard. I wondered if this posed a barrier for developers on what characters they were limited to program in, or if it was intentional from the start that these keys would be the most optimal characters for a program to be coded in by a human and was later adopted as a standard for every user. Basically, are the modern keyboards built around programming languages or are programming languages built around these keyboards?

 

I've recently downloaded Librewolf and I am planning to transfer my data from Brave to it. I am a privacy aware user but I haven't had much experience in using Firefox directly. I have Firefox installed but I have some other old things stored in it (accounts, cache, bookmarks etc.) that I do not want to disturb, nor do I want to use as my default browser. I thought Librewolf would offer a more private and better version of Firefox with a clean slate.

Are there some things to keep in mind while transferring my workflow from a Chromium based browser to a Firefox one? Are there some things to keep in mind specifically for Librewolf? Would I need to change my browsing habits?

Some points about my browser workflow to help you better judge what I may need :

  • I have some accounts saved in my previous browser e.g. Google, Discord, Spotify etc. that I don't use really much, but require them regardless
  • I use uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock as the only extensions
  • I mostly do light casual browsing e.g. searching for stuff in DDG, streaming video/audio, communication etc.
  • I have been recently avoiding proprietary software and websites in favour of privacy-respecting alternatives and frontends, to the best of my abilities
  • I occassionally use Tor for anonymously working in websites that I have logged onto in my main browser
  • I have had Brave installed on my Android phone too, synced with my PC
  • I installed Mull in my phone in the hope of pairing it with Librewolf while avoiding creating a Firefox account if possible
  • I use Proton VPN (free tier) whenever I use my browser(s)

Sorry if I may be asking obvious questions or doing things blatantly wrong as a privacy respecting user.
