Firefox has profiles too. Containers are for use within a profile. You keep saying that containers aren't useful but you don't elucidate on how they are useless for privacy or what integration issues exist. I don't know how to interpret 'general awkwardness.' Can you fill in some details?
- bad_user 3y agoOn the usefulness of containers for privacy, I wrote another comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37477425 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37477425 A problem I have with containers is one of usability, as they have integration issues. For example, when searching for open tabs (`%`), the container-enabled tabs don't get displayed.
- madacol 3y agoAgree, though different profiles are a pain to use, I have to rely on the shell firefox -P profile2
