Features & Capabilities

Amazon Container is a Firefox add-on designed to enhance your online privacy by preventing Amazon from tracking your activity on other websites. It isolates your Amazon sessions in a separate container, ensuring your browsing outside Amazon remains private. Inspired by Mozilla's Facebook Container, this extension deletes tracking cookies and automatically opens Amazon in its own container tab. While it disables Amazon-linked buttons and embedded content on other sites, it effectively stops Amazon from linking your browsing data across the web.

Though it doesn't eliminate all data collection Amazon performs within its own ecosystem, Amazon Container significantly limits cross-site tracking. For broader protection, users can combine it with privacy features like Private Browsing, Tracking Protection, blocking third-party cookies, and Firefox Multi-Account Containers. This extension empowers you to continue using Amazon while maintaining greater control over your web privacy.

User Reviews

Users say Amazon Container reliably isolates Amazon sites and is simple to use (similar to Facebook Container). Repeated complaints are that the chosen icon/color keeps reverting, the add-on misses many Amazon-owned domains, and it can conflict with other container extensions (causing tab issues). Overall it does its job but needs broader domain coverage and better compatibility/stability.

Pros

Effectively isolates Amazon-owned sites and does what it’s supposed to do
Simple, focused functionality — users find it achieves the intended Amazon-container purpose
Familiar model similar to Firefox’s Facebook Container, so behaviour is predictable

Cons

Chosen icon and container color often reset or revert (including on browser restart)
Incomplete coverage of Amazon properties and national domains (examples reported: amazon.pl, CurseForge, Amazon Games, wholefoods.co.uk and other acquisitions)
Compatibility issues with other container add-ons / Firefox Multi-Account Containers — users report conflicts, tab-closing or duplicate-tab behaviour

Recent reviews

Is Amazon Container Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Amazon Container requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Amazon Container may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
