What's wrong with profiles. They've had those forever and I have half a dozen. I don't see what any of this new "container" stuff really adds to that.

- pritambaral 8y agoProfiles provide isolation at the browser level, containers at the origin/domain level. Different profiles are essentially different browser installations that share nothing more than core browser code: extensions, settings, and even looks. It can get tedious to have to replicate one's browser customisations in every profile. Containers bring convenience. I never made a separate browser profile for Facebook, but the moment Firefox's Containerisation was available in Test Pilot, I made a container for all things Facebook.
