This is a practice I find extremely useful from a privacy and security perspective.
For those who are unaware, Browser Compartmentalization (also called Browser Isolation) is simply dedicating a browser for a particular type of activity. This will therefore require that you install multiple browsers in your system.
I always have 5 or 6 browsers installed as follows:
1. Browser 1: For my emails and cloud files.
2. Browser 2: For my online search activities without an account.
3. Browser 3: For my social media accounts.
4. Browser 4: For my online shopping accounts.
5. Browser 5: For YouTube and other search activities with an account.
6. Browser 6: For banking and financial activities.
Browsers 2 & 6 are set to automatically delete all temp files upon close.
This allows me to minimize tracking and boost my privacy and security, whilst keeping essential cookies to avoid having to login everytime.
I use a couple of extensions in some of the browsers, especially in browsers 2 & 5:
1. Enhancer for YouTube
2. uBlock Origin
3. Microsoft Defender
If you do not want to use too many browsers, you can still reduce tracking by using multiple profiles within each browser.

There are excellent videos focused on privacy and security, and how large Corporations like Google, Facebook, Apple and others are exploiting users.
Hope this helps.
