I use virtual machines for e-mails and social media, and I use separate containers for them. On my host OS, I mainly use Firefox for self-hosting and everything else would have their own containers. You can achieve the same thing by creating multiple profiles e.g. Personal profile with personal e-mail and social media containers, work profile with work e-mail and social media containers, etc.
I agree that being able to at least have your password manager in Mullvad would be great. I believe there is a way to enable it, but I don’t know how as I haven’t looked much into it. If memory serves me well, I believe @henry-fisher from TechLore managed to get his password manager to work in Mullvad.
Unless you use YouTube anonymously, with no account linked to it, no, I do not think it’s a good idea to have separate containers for YouTube and Gmail.
I have one main Google account, which is tied to my personal identity. It’s the account I use for both Gmail and YouTube, and pretty much the only Google account I use on a day-to-day basis because I watch YouTube videos every day.
If you use one account for both Gmail and YouTube, you can’t put them in separate containers. It is simply not possible.
Do you mean deleting all the data in a single container?
If yes, that’s possible.
There are 2 methods:
1) Delete website from container
Click on container icon > Manage containers > Select Container > Manage Site List > Delete websites you don’t want in container.
2) Delete Container
Click on container icon > Manage containers > Delete this container
This will delete the container, and hence remove all the sites linked to this container.
I hope this helps.

I think containers are neat but i don’t use them because clearing site data in browser settings doesn’t just clear the uncontainerized tabs, but the container tabs as well.
You can disable browsing history and add cookie exceptions. That way, your browser doesn’t store any cookies except for the cookies you want.
Well the option is there. I prefer to do it this way and only have one Microsoft account in case they start being a pain in the ass like Google and become desperate to get my phone number
well put , and on top of it you can go for new proxy for each container , you can either go with mozilla vpn (which uses mullvad servers) , or you can set it up manually using socks (ivpn , mullvad ) or https proxy .
I still havent found a way to open temporary containers in random proxy , maybe someone else can help with that , it would be very close to Tor without sacrificing speed and getting captchas every minute
working great , new container gets new random ip (from provided list of proxies)
I have been experimenting with Multi-Account Containers and Tor’s SocksPort, creating a unique SocksPort port for each Multi-Account Container.
For example, in Tor’s “torrc”:
## SocksPort 192.168.0.11:9200 is for Firefox - Weather
SocksPort 192.168.0.11:9200
For example, in Firefox Multi-Account Containers > Manage Containers > (select container) > Advanced proxy settings:
socks://192.168.0.11:9200
This appears to be working well, and it should provide Tor Stream Isolation for each Multi-Account Container.
For example, I use one Container for personal pages in which I trust: mastodon, this forum, disroot…, other container only for my Telegram account, other only for Google products: gmail, maps, etc, another container only for tutamail, another one for press pages who share cookies with other partners, other container for shopping pages and paypal and other one for my banking pages. It’s easy to configure in Firefox in which container must open each page.
Does it make sense to use Multi Account containers and Temporary Containers (in Auto Mode) at the same time with Librewolf/Arkenfox? (trying both of them out, haven’t decided yet)
By default LW doesn’t store any cookies, I manually allow them for websites where I want to stay logged in + make their own container.
Does my set up make sense or is it redundant? I’ve literally just discovered these two extensions thanks to this thread so I’m not really sure on howto use or configure them.
I’m also trying to figure out if there’s any benefit here. I really like the idea of MACs, but it feels a bit like they might not be super useful anymore, they increase my surface area for attacks and potentially give Mozilla permission to see my data in a way they otherwise wouldn’t. Not sure if any of those are valid concerns but I haven’t installed them for the moment, I just use the default containers in Firefox browser.
