I've been using this for a few months now and I love it. Along side temporary containers[1] and tridactyl[2] which gives
- auto containerization based on url match
- keyboard driven way to open new pages in a specific container
FF transforms into a powerful browser OS running applications with hard boundaries.
The only UX issue (which admittedly could be because I have changed the theme to be minimal by hacking userChrome) is that sometimes the temporary containers I spawn are the ones I need to retain (user storage) etc and I tend to forget that and loose data.

- sfmike 4y agowhats a use case for temporary containers? Throwaway email? Does the called on server think you're a first time visitor each container?
- nvln 4y agoYeah, its a good way to circumvent tracking / fingerprinting mechanisms. Anonymization primitive. But the primary usecase for me is to access a rarely used account temporarily without having to logout and login from the main account (AWS, Cloudflare, Google, etc).
