Container tabs is the most useful browser feature anywhere. Now if they would just add tab history tracking.

  Their current market share is 3%. What do you think it will be once they add tab history tracking, and every other feature under the sun that you think their browser should have?

    I use Firefox and I tell everyone in know about ublock. If chrome is force divested the browser market is going to look very different.

just curious - why not use browser profiles available in Chrome/Brave…?

  It's not even on the same level. Container tabs as the name implies are all in the same window, and you can program them, for example always open up google.com domains in my Google container, while opening amazon.com in my shopping container. This keeps the cookies separate and means you are tracked less. Yes you can manually do this with Chrome profiles, but before this feature was introduced into Firefox I had a dozen or more Chrome profiles to keep all my work, community and personal Google/Microsoft logins separate.

    And then you can use specific proxies (via your VPN) per container, it's a game changer for consuming media

  With profiles can you use the same window for multiple tabs? Based on a video I saw, the entire window is only used for that profile and switching between profiles will lose your other profiles tabs.

  Can you have each tab use a different browser profile?

  I wish they improved the UX so that it is as easy as possible to switch between profiles and to always launch certain websites on isolated profiles that you set for them

Mine too, but they have existed for a while now and seems their development is stuck and left to rot, there's many improvements around them that could be made to help improve privacy.

Container tabs and specifically Temporary Containers are the two things I always miss on non-Firefox browsers
