It is a privacy feature, specially when paired with Cookie Auto Delete. I have CAD setup to always delete cookies when I close all tabs of a website. But I can add exceptions per website and per container. So I have a Google container that is the only place where I allow Google to leave cookies on my browser. I do the same for a several other websites. Sure, Google can always track you somehow, like IP address, but it's not as easy to track you around the Internet when you always use a fresh new session on each tab.

do you realize CAD is unnecessary because Firefox has site isolation for a few years already?

anyways, it's CAD the one providing you that sense of privacy, not the container.

I don't just want cookie isolation. I want cookie obliteration.
Well that's strange as I still get hits on the facebook containers block, to tell me it's blocking tracking.
