Are they good for anything other than logging into two accounts? Are they useless beyond that?

All of the websites that I frequently log in to are all containerized with a bright pink color; this helps to prevent phishing. I also use the “Temporary Containers” add-on. This turns each and every website I visit that isn’t in a container into, essentially, its own private browsing window. This m…

So you re login every time you visit a website? Sounds like a massive hassle, is the benefit worth it? What is the benefit of all that extra timely admin

I’m not sure if it could be used to log into two different accounts on the same service unless you’re able to separate them by subdomain (like www.reddit.com vs old.reddit.com ).

For users of “Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed” + “Manage Exceptions”: Use the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension to avoid cross-site tracking. When setting a cookie-clearing exception in Firefox it currently also disables cookie partitioning (Total Cookie Protection) fo…

I have 2 questions for containers: 1- You have to install an extension? Meaning it would increase fingerprintability, correct? 2- If you want to open multiple tabs at once, is it possible to open them all in individual containers or you have to do that manually for each website you visit?

How do you do that?

I’d like for site A to always open in container A. Site B to always open in container B. Is that possible?

Right not, the only way I’ve found is to open a new container tab and THEN going to that website. Hopefully, that first step can be eliminated somehow.

Containers is coming to brave?
