Yep. You can adjust everything with just one click in the Shield settings, which you’ll find by clicking the Lion’s head icon to the right of the search bar.
edit. The setting will stick, even if you exit the page.
Your reaction made me think you weren’t happy with it, or did you mean you just weren’t aware of it?
I was using brave, i think i knew about it, not sure, But I would just use private window instead of this.
This feature doesn’t help if you want something like containers or temporary tab
What do you mean it doesn’t help? If it’s enabled, other websites won’t receive information about it, and when you close the page, absolutely all the data is deleted.
What is “forgetful browsing” ? Never heard of it.

" * Private browsing modes: Allow users to visit a site with a clean storage area, but require perfection to prevent unwanted first-party reidentification. If Khen (from the previous example) forgets to use a private window just once, and mistakenly logs into his second email account in a normal window, the email provider will be able to link the two email accounts, indefinitely and irreversibly."
I think there’s a miss understanding, i use containers to isolate cookies, not as a temporary way for browsing
This is amazing, I’ve seen it a couple of time recommended by people, but I just tried it and set it up and can’t recommend it enough!
I created a contained for any websites I know I visit often so I don’t really need a profile anymore because I clear my cookies, etc. on exit. Now everything is isolated while I browse the web.
Thanks!

Yes, I was struggling with the limited icons and colors 
May I ask what the use case for profiles are when you use a container for pretty much any website you visit?
I don’t keep any history, but do you have 2 sets of settings/extensions?
You can. And you can have it turned on by default even and just whitelist websites you want to keep.

I like to keep different parts of my life separate, which is why I have 2 profiles. Most of the extensions I keep in both are the same, but the bookmarks are like 40 to 60% different.
A long time ago, there was a browser extension called XMarks, which allowed you to synchronize your bookmarks across browsers. One cool feature they had is that you could set different profiles with your XMarks account. Meaning that within the same browser profile, I could switch Xmarks to my work profile, and it would replace all my personal bookmarks with my work bookmarks.
With the ability to switch bookmarks whenever I wanted, I didn’t need a browser profile. However, Xmarks was discontinued after LastPass acquired them, and I have not been able to find a replacement that does the same thing, which sucks.
There are many websites that I use regularly, and I can’t have too many bookmarks, hence the use of profiles. That being said, even if Xmarks still existed, I find it useful to have separate browser profiles. I use my 2 profiles every day simultaneously, meaning that I have 2 windows from 2 different profiles open almost all the time. Profiles are a feature that I hope note-taking apps like Notesnook will implement too.

Slight thread detour. Your description sounds quite similar to floccus. Give it a look. I’ve been using it for over a year for my browser bookmarks and tab backups. It’s made by one of the NextCloud employees.
I totally get that feeling! When I first discovered the containers feature, man, I was like, How did I not know about such an amazing feature before? Since then, it’s become an essential part of my browsing, I honestly can’t imagine going online without it anymore.
