The UI/UX for container tabs will be a difficult design challenge. How do you explain to typical users what a contextual identity is and why/when they might want to use one?
I think per-window contextual identities, instead of per-tab, might be a good mental model. It's easy to explain to users that tabs in different windows can't see the same cookies. This is a generalization of Private Browsing window's throwaway context identities today. It's harder to explain that some tabs in the window are in the "Shopping" container and others in the "Personal" container.
- groovecoder 10y agoGreat feedback. A segment of people seem do correlate windows with containers more easily than tabs. We are measuring both window & tab usage in the experiment to get a quantitative sense for it too. I personally use Tab Groups add-on and associate each of my tab groups with a container, but I also mix my containers in a certain group. E.g., sometimes I'm on hacker news for fun, and sometimes I'm here for work. ;)
