    Great to see this feature being added to other browsers. I use the Firefox Multi-Account Containers, Temporary Containers, and Containerize extensions to manage my browsing and it's (mostly) a very nice experience. There are some rough edges for certain tasks, but I've not had any desire to go back to containerless browsing for a few years now.

      For me, they are completely essential and we're the killer feature that kept me on Firefox. That, and I never liked Chrome anyway.

        > the killer feature that kept me on Firefox

        precisely, I do occasionally have to switch browsers which is incredibly frustrating but that's more of an indictment of the current state of the web than FF in my mind

          Same. I often describe it as a killer feature when people ask me "why firefox?" It surprises me that so many people don't even know they are a thing!

        How do you use them differently than you would have used profiles?

          I can:

          - Right-click and re-open a tab in a different container

          - Automatically switch to a container for certain domains

          - Organise tabs of different containers amongst each other (eg. same site opened in different containers next to each other)

          - Not clutter my window manager just to separate browsing data
