 Anybody using Firefox Containers? If so, how do you organize your containers? By site? (E.g. you have a Google container, and a Microsoft container) or by persona? (e.g. you have a container for all sites where you using foo@bar.com and another for baz@foo.com) or ...? 12 comments
@anders Do they have something like containers? How does it work or perhaps you have a pointer handy? @J12t No pointers. But yeah, they have what they call Workspaces, if I remember correctly. More like virtual browsers where each workspace can have multiple tabs etc. Just a more fluid user experience I think. @J12t I didn't get too much into manual container management, but I do use the following extensions to try and silo Facebook and Google trackers into their own respective containers: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/facebook-container/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-container/  @J12t Depends on the browser profile. For SeaGL I have SeaGL related accts on various sites in one container, except github gets it's own container and random containers for other stuff For travel profile I have containers for each of the hotel sites, each airline and one for maps, then random containers for nat'l parks, museums, etc. For social media I have either full profile or container on a profile for every acct Banks get their own profile and nothing else on that instance 1/x @lufthans How do you manage those containers? I can't even find a way of reordering them! @lufthans Complicated :-) The whole plugin is a bit like different people worked on it who didn't talk to each other, like different parts don't agree how long a container name may be ...  @J12t By org: Google, Discord, and some that I no longer use, now that I’m checking: Reddit, Xing, LinkedIn, and others. @J12t I started using containers because it eliminated problems logging into separate Microsoft365 containers, which I have to use for different clients. I do try to separate heavy trackers like Google, Facebook, and Amazon, but I'm not very rigorous, so they probably don't protect me as well as they could. |

@J12t I tried to, but never found a way that made any sense for me. Much better approach for this in Arc in my opinion.
But eventually I settled with Vivaldi. :)
