Reviews for Facebook Container
Facebook Container by Mozilla Firefox
Review by Norm
Rated 1 out of 5
by Norm, a year agoI had to disable this extension due to its interference with Instagram images embedded into other website's content.
Many content creators are using images from Instagram to illustrate their articles as if Instagram were a stock-photo site. Or they are using Instagram as a free repository for their own collection of images.
This extension blocks the Instagram image and replaces it with a big, fat placeholder the same size of the image. A white box with one line of text "Click here to see the image on Instagram".
Personally, I want to see the webpage as the developer envisioned it and not open a separate tab to see every Instagram image on the page.
This behavior has been reported as an issue as far back as 2019, with the developer promising to fix it, but for the moment saying the behavior is "as-expected".
As Instagram is owned by Facebook, the integration between the two sites has become much tighter. Partly I must assume as a reaction to the threat of government anti-trust action to separate Facebook from Instagram.
In any case, I disabled the Facebook Container extension and will not use it until the issues around embedded Instagram images is resolved.

- Rated 4 out of 5by MauriMaster, a day agoLe he seguido los pasos a esta extensión y puedo afirmar que realmente evita la intromisión de los dominios de Facebook en los otros sitios que visitamos. El trabajo lo hace en segundo plano, por eso pensamos que no hace nada la extensión. En realidad si optimiza la fluidez de los sitios porque no funcionan los scripts de facebook durante la navegación.
