Mozilla Facebook Container VS Extension Police

Take control of all your Facebook data

Police your chrome extensions

Enhanced Privacy
The Facebook Container extension isolates your Facebook identity from the rest of your web activity, preventing Facebook from tracking your off-Facebook activities and making tracking more difficult.
Tracking Prevention
By using the container, cookies from websites outside of Facebook are not shared, reducing the chances of third-party tracking and data collection.
Easy to Use
The extension is simple to install and automatically works to separate your Facebook activities, requiring minimal user intervention or configuration.
Open Source
As a Mozilla product, the extension is open-source, allowing for transparency in terms of what the extension does and how it operates.

Limited to Facebook
The extension is specifically designed for Facebook and does not provide the same privacy benefits for other social media platforms or websites.
Potential Breakage of Facebook Features
Some Facebook features or third-party Facebook login integrations might not work properly as they rely on being able to track users across different sites.
Reduced Personalization
By blocking Facebook tracking, users may experience less personalized content and advertisements on Facebook as it cannot fully track their preferences.
Performance Impact
In some cases, isolating Facebook into a separate container may lead to slight performance overhead or slower load times due to the compartmentalized cookie handling.

Enhanced Privacy
Extension Police provides users with detailed information about the permissions and data access levels of installed extensions, helping to identify potential privacy risks.
Improved Security
By analyzing and monitoring extensions for suspicious behavior, Extension Police helps protect users from malicious extensions that could compromise security.
User Control
The extension allows users to manage and control which permissions are granted to installed extensions, offering greater flexibility and customization for security settings.
Transparency
Provides transparency by revealing the underlying permissions and behaviors of extensions, which aren’t always clear during initial installation.

Complexity
Might be overwhelming for less tech-savvy users due to the technical nature of the information provided and the decisions required regarding permissions.
Potential Overheads
Monitoring and analyzing extensions' behaviors may introduce some performance overhead, possibly affecting browser speed or resource usage.
False Positives
There is a possibility of generating false positives, flagging benign extensions as risky, which could lead to unnecessary concern or over-restriction.
Dependence on Updates
The effectiveness of Extension Police relies on regular updates to accurately assess new security threats and extension behaviors as the browser ecosystem evolves.
