I sometimes use private browsing to temporarily access a site with a secondary account, without logging it if my main account.

- darkpuma 7y agoMulti-Account Containers is good for that.
- RussianCow 7y agoContainers are overkill when you just want to do this as a one-off.

- RussianCow 7y agoThat's true, although I could picture a scenario where you want to log into a service only occasionally, so you want the password saved but don't necessarily want to keep a container for it. For instance, my wife and I have separate brokerage accounts, and I log into both simultaneously once a month.
- TheRealPomax 7y agoThat heavily depends on how much of a hassle the container system is, really. If specific sites automatically get opened in a specific container (a la facebook) then I'm certainly going to take advantage of password saving. Anything to have to not type and/or click fewer things to actually do what I want to do, instead of getting to what I wanted to do. If I have to manually open the correct container first, though, that's a hassle. It's why I use containers sparingly, but hot damn do I have the "facebook container" extension installed (a site I look at maybe once a week) because automatic silos are fantastic.
- justinrlle 7y agoThis extension [0] allows creating on-the-fly new containers, and delete them when you close the tab. [0] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/containers-on-the-go https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/containers-on...
