How do you login to Facebook when needed, if there is no cookie?

It only blocks third-party cookies, so you can login to Facebook. What it would block is Facebook tracking outside the Facebook domain. Another option is to use something like Self-destructing cookies, which would delete the Facebook cookie when you close the tab.

Edited comment to explain it affects 3rd party websites. Facebook works as usually and all content it the same.

Thanks for the pointer. Wish this worked on iOS, where the only option is to use a dedicated browser for accessing Facebook. Not sure how Brave deals with Facebook cookies on iOS.

Why can't you use firefox on iOS? All addons should work normally.

Apple does not allow browser extensions. Firefox (any non-Apple browser) on iOS is a wrapper around Mobile Safari.
