When privacy mode is on, is each tab its own separate entity? Will a sneaky cookie created in one tab be seen by another tab? Will tracking cookie from some hidden element on one page be able to be seen from another web site if its opened in another tab?
Is a tab like a separate VM instance when privacy mode is on? Independent of 3rd party cookies turned off. (They are). Can this type of behaviour be turned on?

In Private Browsing mode all cookie settings are the same as in regular mode, so all open tabs and windows share the same set of cookies.
The only difference is that you do not have access to cookies created in regular mode (you get a new set) and that cookies from the PB mode session are never saved to disk and are removed when that PB session ends.
There are extensions that allow to get an independent set of cookies, bu I don't know how they work in PB mode.

What are you using for that privacy mode you are talking about?
And that VM?
If you are talking about the Firefox Private Browsing mode see this:

Basically, there's no additional "security" provided by Private Browsing than in the normal browsing mode, beyond the data not being saved in Firefox and being viewable in "history". Tab separation of cookies is no different in PB mode. You would need a separate PB window to do that, or an add-on that would provide that separation.
I dont understand the first two questions you ask. What VM?
Are you saying opening a new Firefox window is a totally separate environment? So even though ads from same network are open on two different sites, if theyre in seperate firefox windows, they cant make money off a "habit" they learned?
I want to opt in. Rather, given the choice, i would opt out of everything and selectively PAY for things i wanted. I dont need everything. I can live with a few wants.
