## Description

**Twitter Container** is a Chrome extension designed to isolate your Twitter activity from the rest of your web browsing. By compartmentalizing Twitter in its own container, this addon prevents Twitter from tracking your activity on other websites, enhancing your online privacy.

This extension is an unofficial fork of Mozilla's popular Facebook Container, adapted specifically to work with Twitter. While it shares the core functionality of isolating social media activity for privacy, it is not an official Mozilla product. For installation and usage guidance, see instructions similar to those provided for the original Facebook Container.

With Twitter Container, you gain better control over your digital footprint and protect your browsing history from being tracked by Twitter across different sites.

## Review summary

Users generally appreciate Twitter Container for privacy by isolating Twitter activity, but report several reliability issues. Recurrent problems include tab instability and unexpected duplication when switching between Twitter and other sites, plus pinned tabs not staying pinned after Firefox restarts. Many reviews mention logout behavior: the extension logs you out when you close the browser. There are conflicts with other container add-ons, sometimes causing container changes or cross-contamination between tabs. Also, it does not fully isolate Twitter tracking and lacks a menu bar icon.

### Cons

- Tab instability and duplication when using Twitter Container with other sites (unexpected extra tabs, tab switching issues).
- Pinned tabs do not stay pinned after Firefox restarts; tabs become unpinned.
- Logout occurs when closing the browser; user sessions are lost on exit.
- Conflicts with other container add-ons leading to inconsistent behavior or container switching.
- Does not fully isolate Twitter tracking (buttons/links can reveal visit origins) and UI gaps (no menu bar icon).
