## Description

**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.

## Review summary

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
