ContainSite

Per-site container isolation with unique device fingerprints for Firefox and LibreWolf.

Every website you visit is automatically placed in its own isolated container with a unique, deterministic device identity. Sites cannot share sessions, cookies, or correlate you through browser fingerprinting.

What it does

  • Automatic per-site containers — each domain gets its own container on first visit, no configuration needed
  • Unique fingerprints per container — every container presents a completely different device to websites
  • Auth-aware — login redirects (e.g. YouTube to Google) stay in the originating container so authentication works seamlessly
  • Zero configuration — install and browse, everything is automatic

Fingerprint vectors protected

Vector Method
Canvas Deterministic pixel noise per container seed
WebGL Spoofed GPU vendor and renderer strings
AudioContext Seeded noise on frequency and channel data
Navigator CPU cores, platform, languages, device memory
Screen Resolution, color depth, window dimensions
Timezone getTimezoneOffset, Date.toString, Intl.DateTimeFormat
WebRTC Forced relay-only ICE policy (blocks local IP leak)
Fonts Noise on measureText (prevents font enumeration)
ClientRects Sub-pixel noise on getBoundingClientRect
Plugins Reports empty
Battery Always reports full/charging
Connection Fixed network profile

How it works

  1. You visit youtube.com in a normal tab
  2. ContainSite creates a youtube.com container and reopens the tab in it
  3. A deterministic fingerprint is generated from a random seed and injected via exportFunction() before any page scripts run
  4. You visit gmail.com — gets its own container with a different fingerprint
  5. YouTube and Gmail cannot share cookies, sessions, or device identity

When YouTube redirects you to accounts.google.com for login, the redirect stays in YouTube's container. Gmail has its own separate Google login in its own container. Same authentication flow, fully isolated identities.

Architecture

Background Script
  ├── Auto-creates containers per domain (contextualIdentities API)
  ├── Generates deterministic fingerprint from seed (Mulberry32 PRNG)
  ├── Registers per-container content scripts (contentScripts.register + cookieStoreId)
  └── Intercepts navigation to assign tabs to containers

Content Script (per container, ISOLATED world, document_start)
  └── Uses exportFunction() + wrappedJSObject to override page APIs
      ├── Canvas, WebGL, AudioContext prototypes
      ├── Navigator, Screen properties
      ├── Timezone (Date, Intl.DateTimeFormat)
      ├── WebRTC (RTCPeerConnection)
      └── Font metrics, ClientRects, Battery, Connection

Uses Firefox's exportFunction() API to inject overrides from the isolated content script world directly into the page context. This bypasses Content Security Policy restrictions that block inline script injection.

Install

From file

  1. Download the latest .xpi from Releases
  2. In Firefox/LibreWolf: about:addons → gear icon → "Install Add-on From File..."
  3. Select the .xpi file

For unsigned installs, set xpinstall.signatures.required to false in about:config (LibreWolf has this off by default).

From source

  1. Clone the repo
  2. Go to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox
  3. Click "Load Temporary Add-on..."
  4. Select manifest.json

Popup UI

Click the ContainSite toolbar icon to see all active containers. From there you can:

  • Toggle fingerprint spoofing on/off per container
  • Regenerate a container's fingerprint (creates a new device identity)
  • Prune Unused — remove containers with no open tabs
  • Reset All — clear all containers and data

Requirements

  • Firefox 100+ or LibreWolf
  • Containers must be enabled (privacy.userContext.enabled = true in about:config)
