You can plug all those holes, but your data is still leaking. And wait until Googles new Web Integrity API is implemented. They have a thousand tentacles that are grabbing data. You can cut off a hundred of them, but it really doesn't make a difference.

But let's be practical: if I use th Firefox Google container and all the link I open are just the website I want ro visit, if I'm not logged in any Google service, how can Google monitor me on my PC?

P.s. I also use (along with other) the Cookie Auto Delete plugin.

@peregus @Meho_Nohome If the website is using Google analytics or AdSense you may have to use a adblocker too.

Well, using Cookies Auto Delete, that's not true if the scope is not to get tracked, because even with Google tracker, Google wouldn't know that was me. Maybe with Canvas Blocker too, to protect against fingerprinting.

@peregus Yes difficult to escape fingerprinting. May have to use tor browser or hardened firefox

I use Canvas Blocker and it seems to be doing a pretty decent job

You're right (and I use it)!
