They're not as strong a separation. That said if they work for your usecase then yes they're lower friction by the same virtue. It is very loosely like containers being cheaper than VMs at the expense of some isolation.
- sirsinsalot 2y agoHow are they not as strong? Do you have an example?
- syntheticnature 2y agoFirefox history is shared among all container tabs. While some of my usage is automatically governed, not all is, hence why I moved to profiles for certain needs for separation
- etskinner 2y agoIf you want to have different preferences, bookmarks, extensions etc. set for different profiles. For example, I might want to allow 3rd party cookies on a work profile but not on a personal profile.
- tobyjsullivan 2y agoChrome profiles, for example, isolates browser extensions, bookmarks, browser settings, and saved passwords. I haven't used Firefox containers yet but, based on the docs and demo I watched, it doesn't look like it has that level of isolation.
