#4These look really cool. I've had Self-Destructing Cookies (or Webextension equivalent) on Firefox for awhile now to try to combat this problem, but it is a bit annoying that if I inadvertently close HN's tab or navigate away from it because I followed a URL, I need to log back in.

Might still want something that deletes all cookies when the entire container is closed, though.

Seems to work that way now with the extension and now you can assign sites to different containers so they auto open in the correct tab.

#8Does anyone have any advice on how best to use this? Is it really best to make all shopping websites open in the same containers? Any thoughts on what sites/kinds of sites should definitely be in their own containers. Any recommended categories besides the default container categories?

I would have a container for each of my major social network / email accounts, like one container for each of twitter, Google and Facebook.

Yes, and then do your browsing in non-containers so that browsing is isolated from the account logins, and vice versa.
