The cookies and other site data they gather, will remain and able to track your browsing habits within that container.
They’re very useful, and I highly recommend using them, but they’re nowhere near as convenient as opening up a single incognito tab to read a shitty article on a shitty website. Once I’m done reading it, all I have to do is close that incognito session, return to Lemmy, rinse and repeat.
Do whatever works best for you, but just be aware that you seem to be under some important misconceptions about what data is saved between different types of browsing sessions, or how certain privacy features work.

I wasn’t talking about Containers though. I was under the impression that Enhanced Tracking Protection severely hampers cross-domain tracking.

Let me rephrase that: I am talking about containers, but more specifically about the fact that Firefox now sandboxes every domain within it’s own little container, if you enable the proper options. Yes, your behavior on said site will persist until you clear your session data, but it will not follow you to other websites.
