Firefox's Multi-Account Containers changed the game for me back in 2018 or 2019, and is what got me to switch back to Firefox for 95% of my personal browser use. The "Always open {{domain}} in this container" and the ability to open a specific container with a keyboard shortcut seem like small things, but I can't imagine life without them anymore.
I never understood why it was set off to the side in an (official, first-party) extension, because I was always afraid they would one day stop supporting it. Now when I explain to people why I prefer Firefox, I don't have to explain "There's this extension, don't worry it's official, that allows me to..." I can just say "It has containers built-in. They're great. Try them."
- waz0wski 3mo agoYep, same here MAC + Temporary Containers extension is how web browsing should be handled by default imo No website deserves permanence of any data in my browser unless I so choose I haven't seen similar functionality in any of the new generation of browsers, nor any of the Firefox spinoffs as-yet
- BlueGreenMagick 3mo agoFyi Kagi's Orion browser also supports containers https://help.kagi.com/orion/features/containers.html https://help.kagi.com/orion/features/containers.html
- computerfriend 2mo agoIt's not open source.
- WarOnPrivacy 2mo ago>I haven't seen similar functionality in any [other] browsers Brave has been advertising their new containers but I haven't tried them yet. https://brave.com/blog/containers/ https://brave.com/blog/containers/ Given Google's hostility toward non-chromium browsers, it's on my check-it-out list
- upcoming-sesame 2mo agoBrave containers are great. They also have vertical tabs built in which is my preferred tab layout and is missing from Chrome
- Dylan16807 2mo agoChrome just got vertical tabs, apparently.
