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

Amazon Container successfully isolates Amazon domains in Firefox containers, mirroring the Facebook Container's approach. However, users report issues with the add-on resetting icon and color preferences upon restart. It lacks comprehensive coverage of all Amazon-related sites, missing major acquisitions like CurseForge and Whole Foods. Some embedded content is blocked without whitelisting options. Also, conflicts with other container add-ons limit its combined use in browsers. Despite these drawbacks, it remains a sought-after tool for enhancing privacy across Amazon domains.

Pros

Effectively isolates Amazon-owned sites in dedicated containers as intended.
Provides similar functionality to the Facebook Container but for Amazon domains.
Good idea to improve privacy and compartmentalization while browsing Amazon properties.

Cons

Icon and color settings reset after browser restart, causing user frustration.
Does not support all Amazon acquisitions and related domains, missing significant sites like CurseForge and Whole Foods.
Conflicts may occur with other container add-ons, limiting simultaneous usage.
Some embedded content (e.g., Twitch streams) can be blocked, with no easy way to whitelist sites.

Extension safety

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 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 Browser Add-ons, 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 has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
