I want to try an add-on but it requests permissions. If it’s in the store for 2 years and has 100 reviews and is open source, is that good enough to assume I can use it without issues?
Containerise is the add-on as a note
Addons are usually just like any other software. The problem is you wont know if someone just sold the rights to the addons to another party until it is too late and some malware has already been incorporated into it (and the malware has already affected you).
If you don’t use the same browser for critical things (like banks, emails, social media accounts), it should be acceptable but in the end, less software is better, especially on the browser side, because these days most malware comes in to your computer via browsers.

The official Firefox Multi-Account Containers add on can open sites in specific containers. Requires a couple clicks, but not difficult.
Likely the Containerise addon isn’t more popular because it’s outdone by competition.

Ah so this automatically opens specific links in specific containers.
Instead of going and opening a new container and inserting the link.
So it’s a way to connect and browse more smoothly. Unless there’s another way to do it?
Looks so clunky the way it is default version
The real question is: why do you need containers?
With dFPI their only use is multiple accounts on the same site, in which case just use MAC.
Otherwise you don’t need such extensions for just eg. privacy.
So you’re saying it’s pointless and Firefox already does this with cookies?
